From Yoda, Dancers Becoming Employees Against Their Will

Well, looking to get banned from stripper web - oops already am! But came across this interesting piece.
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showth…
"...the club owner said that he's making all of us employees instead of independent contractors. Along with this comes a lot of new tax bureaucracy, and revenue sharing (which is basically how he's getting legally around still charging a house fee and fining us without calling it that), and a new scary finger scanning system for coming on and off shift and stage sets."
Apparently those lawsuits across the country are really working out for dancers.
Got something to say?

For example, they can impose a $200 "locker rental fee", a "stage rental fee" of $300, and so on.
Can you imagine having to pay full time health benefits to someone who works twice a week, if that, with no set schedule, while working at a competing club at the same time, and when they do manage to come in, they miss half of their shift. And don't forget the unemployment claims for "fired" employees!
Out...rageous.
Like someone stated about the fee's.... locker rent, stage fee, fines for not cleaning up, etc. Is all ways around calling them "house fees" and what not. They way they are not "employees".
Then on the flip side... People want healthcare paid for by the clubs... Ok...now you are an employee... You have to show up on time, be productive, keep track of your money more tightly (tax purposes if you have employees), keep track of hours worked in a week, be able to fire people, only work for 1 club, etc.
It is a thing you can't have your cake and eat it too. I mean how can you work for one club and get "full time" benefits and go work for another the same amount of hours? who would cover you for health insurance???
