Line 1:
{{work}}
Fed up with exploitative working conditions at Quark's Bar, Rom forms a union of Quark's employees, which is illegal according to Ferengi law.

* [[Make an Example of Them]]: Inverted and lampshaded. Brunt has his Nausicaan thugs make an example of ''Quark'' for maximum impact.

Line 10 ⟶ 11:
'''Frool:''' ''[[I Lied]]!'' }}
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Rom has two in this episode: One when he's forming the union, and one to keep them together after Brunt and the Nausicaans threaten them.
* [[Strawman Political]]: The concept of unions versus employers is handled with about as much balance as you'd expect from a show with ''Trek''{{'}}s political leaning. Of course, the pro-union aesop of the episode is sort of [[Broken Aesop|left battered and bleeding on the floor]] if you know much of the history of the franchise; the series has routinely used "scab" labor whenever a union strike occurred, and at least one of their movies suffered various terrorist attacks from grip union supporters due to this.
