A United Robotronics strike pits shop steward Ted against management rep Brandon; Joan has her students use the strike as a social studies exercise, which also goes awry.

The gradual transition from a pure “kiddie” show to one a little more adult mainstream displays itself more starkly here, as the adult players muscle in more into the spotlight. The inside humor of this episode is that it occurs during a major screenwriters' strike.

Notable: One of a handful of episodes where Vicki doesn't wear a pinafore at all.
