Apparently, I’ve been under a rock as today’s thread from Cory Doctrow - @[email protected] is the first I had heard of this.

Where I live such entertainers are considered independent contractors (1099) and as such it is ILLEGAL for them to unionize. Is there something different in California that qualifies them as employees (W2)?

If not, how did they get around the capitalist governments’ rules?

    True, very true. Admittedly, I don’t go to strip clubs. Never felt the need when internet porn exists.

    But I do know that turnover is often encouraged to help keep unions from forming.
