Roz, one of the store's senior managers, is too caught up stalking her ex-wife online to notice that her girlfriend, Molly, is plotting with her coworkers to unionize. Roz also doesn't see that Molly is not-so-secretly in a situationship with Randy, the dairy manager leading their collective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unfolding over the course of a single week during Texas hurricane season, \u003ci\u003eWork to Do\u003c\/i\u003e pings between the co-op's first year and present day, as the unionization bid reaches fever pitch.
