Strippers last month took to the streets outside the 'Lusty Lady' club in San Francisco's touristy North Beach neighborhood to protest managements refusal to bring the strippers pay back to a top of $27.00 an hour.
The new agreement adds $2.00 a shift in the first year and $4.00 per shift in the second year for dancers prep time to do their hair and make up.[plus sick days]
It also lowers a hiring cap, to ensure that there enough shifts to go around.
There is too many people for the number of shifts, so people weren't getting the number of shirts they were asking for,' Natasha [no last name given] said.
The strippers belong to the Exotic Dancers Union, a chapter of the Service Employees Union, Local 790.

once again union rule try to subvert the law of supply and demand...
when these girls are out on the streets (probably literally) because the unions forced them to be paid more than the biz took in, then they will be wondering what happened

The two-year contract with the Lusty Lady gradually raises the strippers' pay by $3 per hour, according to the union.

So where do they put their union bug while they're working? Earrings?

Paisties!!
To: ewing
I think the term "scabby" still applies to some of them. The brunette in the plaid skirt is kinda cute, though.

Who the hell would go to a union strip club. Nobody wants to see gals based on seniority.

The black haired girl with the tiara is kinda cute. The rest in the pictures look like leftovers from a Free Mumia rally.
