Dancers at a Los Angeles strip club have achieved a major victory in their fight for union recognition. On Tuesday, attorneys for the club’s management withdrew their challenges and agreed to recognize the collective during a settlement hearing. This makes the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar the only strip club in the United States with an official bargaining collective.
The National Labor Relations Board had approved a petition for union recognition election back in October, but the club had challenged the validity of certain voters. After a year of tense negotiations, the dancers at Star Garden won formal recognition when the management withdrew their challenges.
The union has been working with the dancers for over a year on their organization efforts, and the dancers are now expected to form the only unionized group of strippers in the U.S. later this week.
“If you have been following our journey, then you know this has been a long, exhausting fight, which is why this victory is so sweet,” said a lawyer representing the bar.
The union victory is a major milestone for the dancers, who have been fighting for better working conditions and pay. It is also a victory for the labor movement, as it shows that workers can come together and fight for their rights and be successful.
