The National Labor Relations Board on Thursday certified the vote by dancers at a Lankershim Boulevard topless bar, making them the only strippers in the nation to be represented by a labor union.
One day after club owners withdrew their opposition, the National Labor Relations Board on Thursday certified a vote by dancers at a North Hollywood topless bar, making them the only strippers in the nation to be represented by a union.
Dancers at Star Garden Topless Dive Bar voted unanimously to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association, which represents more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers nationally. Formal tabulation of the dancers’ vote, which was conducted late last year, had been on hold due to opposition by the bar owners to the unionization effort.
But the union announced Wednesday that the bar owners had dropped that opposition.
