We Built This City, by Marie Vibbert

We Built This City is labor action on Venus.  And what a nasty place to settle.  Our protagonist really wants to do a good job, which in this case is to wash the windows of the settlement.  Important, since the atmosphere pits it if the nasty stuff is left.  But of course management does not understand.  Predatory capitalism in a nutshell.  Good stuff.
