Council employees must end work (7)

I believe the answer is:

dustmen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'council employees' is the definition.
'dustmen' can be an answer for 'employees' (dustman is a kind of employee). I am unsure of the 'council' bit.

'must end work' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'must'+'end'='mustend'
'mustend' is an anagram of 'DUSTMEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
