It's been three years since the class action began, but it ends with something of a labor law victory for exotic dancers.

A federal judge has approved a $12. 9 million settlement for strippers who claimed their employers helped themselves to their tips and paid less than minimum wage, among other indignities, the Courthouse News Service reports.
Under the settlement, a number of nightclubs will have to treat strippers as either employees or even as shareholders or partners in their ventures. (Read More: Porn's Most Popular Stars.)
And in California, strippers won't have to pay the defendant nightclubs fees in order to perform, as they had to do before the settlement.
The nightclubs. 15 in total, allegedly also fined strippers for a huge list of things, including: for not selling enough drinks, for not being in full costume, for not offering specials, and for not wearing a uniform even though a uniform was not provided.
After legal costs, the massive settlement will go to dancers primarily in California and Nevada, with around seven percent being distributed to dancers in other states.[/quote]"Just have to ask: What about Connecticut dancers? Should we advocate for them?"
Sweetheart strategy for dances.
[QUOTE=Stoner;1619753]Don't beleive so. Spoke with a dancer last Friday who did a three for $30 with a customer. He tipped well afterwards and she was happy about it. I also know several who will flat refuse the 3 for 30, cause they get plenty without it. Its just that arbitrary still.[/QUOTE]Guy's don't buckle on the special. I say no thanks if they won't honor it up front. If it's slow enough, they will do it, or one of their co-workers will get the dough. If they honor it an "get er done " I usually tip $20 and they seem happy. Given their location it's the only thing (3/30) that bring people in. If I was paying $30 or even 2/$30, I would just go to EB and have 3 times the selection and higher grade torsos.
