"My cleaning lady gets paid more than me,” she said.

She should.

I have STTS ... no wait ... I belong to STTS

(That's the first problem)

Secondly, any down and out hooker in need of some fast money could get the livin' shit kicked out of her by "the enforcers"

I see nothing but trouble here.

Prostitutes established in Geneva have decried cut-throat competition from prostitutes arriving from elsewhere in Europe.

Just doing the jobs that Swiss whores won't do. Sounds like hard times and stiff competition to me.

Its a global economy. And wives hate pros for the same reason. They undercut the labor rate. Competition!

“Earlier this year, an employee of the GgClub, an erotic massage parlour, complained that the city was attracting a harmful new kind of prostitution.”

Lets hear it for cheap whores!

Unions have a way of screwing up everything.

“My cleaning lady gets paid more than me,” she said.

This definitely poses a knotty problem for advocates of "comparable worth".

Perhaps she should change professions? No. That solution makes too much sense.

Maybe she isn’t qualified to work as a cleaning lady.

A dedicated union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and
decided to check out the local brothels nearby. When he got to the first
one, he asked the Madame, "Is this a union house?"

"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."

"Well, if I pay you $100 what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20."

Mightily offended at such unfair dealings, the man stomped off down the
street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop.

His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madame
responded, "Why yes sir, this IS a union house."

The man asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."

"That's more like it!", the union man said. He looked around the room
and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde. "I'd like her for the
night."

"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madame. Then, gesturing to an obese
sixty-five year old woman in the corner, the Madame said, "but Ethel
here has seniority."

Cleaning takes more skill than what you do, lady.

Don't you just hate that?
