Quotes from Darla:
> "This whole business will be completely ruined. The whole point about being a stripper is you go in, get fast cash, no one knows how you’re getting it, it’s not documented and it’s not taken from you"
>“Not one of those girls had a check for two weeks over $300. There was a lot of upset. A lot of girls packed up to leave that night. I was one of those girls,” Darla said.
1. Pay your taxes like everyone else.
2. Form your own LLC to contract talent out, call it whatever you like and no one is going to look at your pay stub to know what you do
3. The reason the performers had poor pay was because the club owner was paying them poorly. Ask for more money, because clearly the clubs are losing it by not paying their employees appropriately.
Weirdly enough, this regulation seems like it should spur some classic market capitalism in the strip club business. It appears that the labor is in short supply and demand is rising, so you'd think they'd ask for more than minimum wage!
- rolltiide 7y agoI really wonder what is going on here - I think any salary negotiations failed because the dancers are much more fungible than they believed The clubs set the pay at the base minimum of $15/hr and dancers I talked to said the tipping system has also been upended. So a lot of dancers left and BSC has a regional monopoly. I dont really hear any discussion about what happened when asking for a higher salary. Looks like different women applied and got in. Maybe talented dancers left but good enough ones replaced them, customers aren’t that discerning even if the prior dancers were more entertaining.
- rossdavidh 7y agoThe fact that 12/14 strip clubs in the area are owned by one business, suggests that we don't have a completely freely operating labor market, here.
