LA Strippers Celebrate Unionizing Victory After 15-Month Battle

Strippers at Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in California have successfully unionized after a 15-month battle to gain representation by the Actors’ Equity Association. The National Labor Relations Board is scheduled to count the votes this week following a settlement. The bar is slated to reopen after attorneys representing the establishment reached a deal with union lawyers to take a seat at the bargaining table and recognize the union. The Star Garden strippers will be the first unionized strippers since 1997, when dancers at Lusty Lady in San Francisco organized the Exotic Dancers Union.

L.A. strippers make history as first unionized in U.S.

Dancers at a bar in Los Angeles are set to become the only organized group of strippers in the United States after their employer agreed to recognize their union. The performers said unionization would allow them to advocate for better protections against possible sexual harassment and wage theft. The dancers’ unionization efforts are part of a reinvigorated workers’ rights movement in the United States, which has led to organized labor at Starbucks and Apple stores, and has even seen graduate students unionizing.

LA Strip Clubs Unionize: A New Era for Strippers in California

Dancers at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in Los Angeles are close to becoming the only unionized group of strippers in the U.S. after lawyers representing the owners withdrew all election challenges and agreed to recognize the union. The strippers are seeking higher compensation and safer workplace conditions, including better security to protect them from belligerent patrons.

Once certified, the strippers will join the Actors' Equity Association.
