If you want to avoid fighting the slackers who respond aggressively, mount up on your flying mount and then interact with them.
If you hear the aggro noise, fly up in the air, you will drop combat and they will despawn. If you're successful, you won't need to dismount.
The highest rated comments here are useless. Here is what you have to do:
1. Go to Schnottz's landing
2. Click on the uniform to put it on (You must be in Schnottz's Landing)
3. Find a slacking worker. They are either sitting or sleeping. You cannot talk to workers that are working.
4. Left click on him to talk to him. Your cursor will turn into a chat bubble when you are able to do this.Most will attack you, and some will go back to work. You do not have to remove your weapons. Being mounted allows you to fly away if one starts to attack you after talking to him, and speeds up the quest.
Good luck.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
