Stripclub managers normally find an ATF among the dancers who work at their club.
Dancers can expect sexual harassment on the job from customers to DJs to bartenders to managers. Its just part of the sexual oriented business that stripclubs are.
In Texas, dancers are usually independent contractors who agree to set their own hours and wages with the club. In exchange for economic freedom, they pay the club to work there.
I don't think many dancers would agree to become "employees".
But wait, this isn't even part of the lawsuit, which is just another shot at the independent contractor/tip-out/stage-fee system?
That is a system that just creates an environment where everybody is putting the squeeze on everybody else, and it is inevitable that a various forms of extortion (sexual or otherwise) show up.
The writer does not seem to understand how the system works but it sounded like what was really happening was that there was a minimum required fees and tip-outs of 250 per shift.
If the judge rules that the dancers were not genuinely independent there could be a lot of money owed them.
@pabloantonio, I don't know how many would give up being independent contractors, but I sure know plenty of them would give up the tip out system that has everybody taking a piece of their money just for doing their jobs.
Unless the club gives them sufficient independence it doesn't really matter what the dancer wants or what the club wants.
The problem is that the club wants to call them independent, but the dancers are so flaky that they have to micromanage them, essentially causing them to be regarded as employees.
The money situation is fucking insane at clubs. If they are renting the stage, like normal entertainers, you pay the club. Then the club pays everyone else. All this recording every dance, tipping everyone around the club - it is fucking crazy.
It might not be good if the bouncers didn't look to the strippers for tip-out, it helps make sure they really protect the strippers, as well as help them connect with their regulars.
The biggest problem is that it's a bureaucratic nightmare for a strip club to open and stay open. This results in lack of competition, and allows clubs to get away with shabby treatment of both dancers and customers.
sex with a stripper is a perk when manageing a sc. the 2 sc i worked at the manager had sex with the dancers. but he paid them for it. every one was happy
