Since March, strippers at Star Garden have protested against their employers over various issues including wage theft and a failure by the bar’s security to protect them from unruly patrons.
This week, a majority of the bar’s 30 performers, with the assistance of the advocacy group Strippers United, filed to hold a unionization vote with the National Labor Relations Board.
In the meantime, the strippers say they will continue protesting and organizing other workers. “Strippers United stands in solidarity with the Star Garden dancers as they partner with Equity to form the first stripper union in over 25 years,” the strippers’ advocacy group said in a statement. “We are excited and proud to see this next step take place, and Strippers United will be in close connection with these fierce workers as their journey continues on.”“We like what we do,” said Velveeta, a Star Garden dancer in a statement. “We would like our jobs even more if we had basic worker protections.
We’re like so many other workers who have learned that it’s not a choice between suffering abuse or quitting. With a union, together, we can make needed improvements to our workplace.” Solidarity With These Dancers Who Dressed as Their Club's OSHA Violations on the Picket Line https://t.co/dBj1tf249lStar Garden dancers locked out from the Los Angeles strip club dressed as broken glass, bed bugs, a hole in the stage and more to protest working conditions.
