Dancers have been picketing for months outside North Hollywood's Star Garden Topless Dive Bar. Their goal is to form the only stripper union in the U.S.
. The nonprofit was started by Antonia Crane to address workplace issues in the industry.
The dancers are also fighting for changes including better wages. They say management was taking half of their lap dance tips.Jordan Palmer, a volunteer lawyer with Strippers United, says unionizing gives workers more power. The strippers want Star Garden to voluntarily recognize their union. The dancers are applying pressure, not only with the pickets, but also by filing complaints with agencies including the National Labor Relations Board and Cal OSHA.
On the night of the French Revolution picket, cars slow down as they pass the protest, some honk. One supporter, who gave only his first name, Juan, has set up a grill and is making crepes and chilaquiles for the picketers.
