They're off the pole and onto the picket line. SoCal strippers on strike, demanding better working conditions and forming a union. But that's not all these exotic dancers want. Eyewitness News with the Friday night fight for rights. Tonight at 11 from ABC7
The group rallied outside Star Garden on Friday the 13th demanding that the establishment's owners sign the agreement to voluntarily recognize the new independent union, Strippers United.
In an industry infamous for a lack of basic worker protections, these women and their allies are fighting for better working conditions, and safety from workplace abuse. The unionization effort at Star Garden reflects a growing trend within non-traditional industries where workers are stepping away from the cultural expectation to"just leave" when conditions are unacceptable.
The last time strippers successfully unionized was in 1996 at the Lusty Lady Peepshow in San Francisco.
