    My s.o. old employer tried to pull some shady shit with the employees during covid and the PUA benefits.

    The user “swoletariat” on Tiktok makes some really high quality videos of sonic the hedgehog explaining things like wage theft and how to unionize. I’ve never used tiktok in my life, but I think this kind of memefication of serious issues is the best way to raise awareness with gen-Z.
