SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Australian strippers have won the right to take time off after taking their clothes off.

The country's Industrial Relations Commission on Friday approved new workplace rules for members of the strippers union, the Striptease Artists Australia.

"We've got rights to have public holiday pay now, which we've never had in our career before," said a union spokeswoman called Mystical Melody. "We've got rosters and set hours. We can't work more than 10 hours a shift."

The award also entitles unionized strippers to overtime, rest periods, meal breaks and maternity leave, she added.

What month does the maternity leave kick in? LOL

Some threads should not be posted without pics.

This thread is a perfect example of this.

Threads about hairy feminists disrobing as a protest is a perfect example of when pictures should NOT be posted.

Ditto concerning any thread that mentions Helen Thomas.

Just for you, I tried "Australian strippers" under Google's Image link, and well, I doubt you'd be happy with the first result. :-)
