Attorney: Boom town strippers' pay short-changed

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - A Williston attorney says strip club dancers in the oil boomtown are getting short-changed in pay because they are classified as independent contractors and not employees.

The Williston Herald reports (bit.ly ) that Brandon Hale is suing the city's two strip clubs, alleging they businesses are violating state and federal labor laws.

He is seeking back pay for dancers who have worked at the strip clubs since September 2012.

Hale says claims that the dancers are making large sums of money in the oil boom town are unfounded.

Calls to Whispers Nightclub and Heartbreakers Gentleman's Club were not immediately returned on Wednesday. The strip clubs are located on the city's Main Street, located near the chamber of commerce and the Amtrak train depot.

I wonder what the average annual income of Williston attorneys is?
