It's fun and entertaining. That's the main point when it comes to Ferengi episodes. That's all I usually ask for. Often there's also a second layer that tells you something about the peculiar Ferengi culture. That's never the main purpose of such fun stories but usually DS9 does a good job. This episode isn't different but I feel that the union story is too much on the nose. In theory that is a very political story involving the question of universal labor rights, but execution is not very good. Btw: as a European, I wonder how American Ferengi labor laws are :-) Good to see Leeta again, though. And good to see that Rom continues to grow into an important character of this show.
The B plot is mediocre. It's sort of a continuation of "Worf has a hard time to get used to station life" from last episode.
