All the bad stuff that happens at work. And not just at the office.

Your Uber driver. Your Walmart cashier. Your DoorDash delivery person. Amid the pandemic, these were the essential workers whose jobs kept us going. They pushed back with demands for fair minimum wages and better working conditions in a fight that played out on the For You Page.

The internet’s labor movement grew from whispers to yells: Amazon warehouse workers complained about dangerous conditions under dire circumstances. McDonald’s managers were dragged in the comments. Wendy’s employees used bullhorns to shut down customers. Redditors trolled Kellog with fake applications.

These viral flashpoints link together, forming a chain of workers who have changed what it means to exist online. They are creators, holding us accountable, and these are their stories.
