It all started with a single statement from Elma--"I demand improved worker conditions!" The company Miss Kobayashi and the others work at is very close to being exploitative, and Elma finally realizes their situation is wrong and rises up against it. Miss Kobayashi assumes it's impossible to improve their working conditions, but the dragon's energy and spirit were far greater than she imagined...
It was slow going, but the working 
conditions have improved.
كان ذلك يجري بصورة بطيئة، لكن ظروف
العمل قد تحسّنت
Die Arbeitsbedingungen werden verbessert,
wenn auch nur nach und nach.
El proceso era lento,
pero había mejorías.
El proceso era lento,
pero había mejorías.
Nos conditions de travail s’améliorent,
lentement mais sûrement.
Era stato un processo lento, 
ma le condizioni di lavoro erano migliorate molto.
Lentamente, as condições de
trabalho estavam melhorando.
Пусть и понемногу,
но дела налаживаются.
