What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man? (sh.itjust.works)

I joined a union and organized the election of a workers council at my workplace.
Union dues are 1% of my salary.

In the past 5 years, we managed to enforce:

the right to work from home
20% pay for the time spent on call after hours, plus 1 day paid vacation for each week you're on call (so I now have 42 days + unlimited sick days)
a company car for on call duty, which you're allowed to use privately, too
work phones for every employee (instead of having to install the company MDM on your private phone)
convertible desks for everyone
and a substantial pay raise

This post was about little things, no need to show your gigantic balls here.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It began with a little thing, simply writing an e-mail to the union, and kind of grew from there.

All good man, I just wanted to point out how impressive what you did was. You didn't just stick it to the man, you went Vlad the Impaler on his ass.
