City waste collection facility priority employment broken

The employment-priority system for the city’s waste-collection facility needs to be fixed.

If I set waste collection to Priority 1, it should become the highest-priority city service job. My city ended up in a death spiral because no one would work at the waste facility, so garbage was never collected.

Recommended fixes:

First, city service buildings should take priority over all other jobs when their service is critical. If supplies such as food, water, or other essentials are available, city workers should still be assigned to keep vital services running, especially waste collection. Otherwise, the priority system does not seem to serve its purpose.

Second, waste and wastewater buildup need to be addressed more reliably. These systems should not be allowed to fail simply because the priority settings are being ignored.

It is extremely frustrating to spend days building up a city, step away briefly, and then come back to find everything collapsing because the priority system is not functioning properly.

Please fix this as soon as possible.
