Rick's Cabaret lost because they classified strippers as independent contractors but treated them as employees.

The judge found "the list of rules Rick's laid down could be described as "micromanagement."

Among the dos and don'ts detailed in the company's pamphlet of "Entertainer Guidelines" were requirements that the dancers work eight-hour shifts at least three days a week, wear stiletto heels at least four inches tall, skip body glitter and cover any tattoos with makeup."
