Having introduced the series to my child, I guess I'm responsible for it's being played non-stop in our household for the, oh, last two years. While I had initially noted a number of various and obvious issues in the series that address a variety of working-class topics, after having now seen every episode of the show 30 or 100 times and after looking online and seeing little or no examination of the show from the labor perspective, I've decided to compile and episode by episode critical review of the labor-related topics encountered. It is a forgone conclusion each episode is absurd and hilarious so I'm going to assume the reader finds them to be funny. I'll probably piss on that parade and be more serious than I probably should be.
C'est la vie. It's all Latin to me.
As my review progresses, we will encounter several recurring topics which, if encountered in the real world, would be solved through unionization and worker solidarity.
