Dancers at Star Garden began picketing outside the club in March to protest alleged unsafe working conditions.
Dancers at a topless bar in North Hollywood filed a petition today for a union recognition election, in a move union officials said could make them the only strippers in the United States represented by a union.
If the National Labor Relations Board grants the petition and dancers at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar vote to unionize, their bargaining unit would be affiliated with Actors’ Equity Association, the national labor union representing more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers employed in live theater.
“Strippers are live entertainers, and while some aspects of their job are unique, they have much in common with other Equity members who dance for a living,” Actors’ Equity Association President Kate Shindle said. “In my conversations with them, these dancers reported consistent compensation issues — including significant wage theft — along with health and safety risks and violations,” she added.
“They want health insurance and other benefits, like workers’ compensation. They need protection from sexual harassment, discrimination and unjust terminations. Equity is well situated to advocate for these workers, and we are excited to welcome them into the labor movement at this extraordinary time. We applaud their efforts to seize their collective power and unionize, like so many others across the country who are fed up with toxic workplaces.
