If you think what they do Isn't work, you are crazy!
Actually this is not a bad idea.... hmmmmm. These dancers are exploited by the establishment owners. The dancers are not considered "employees" of the strip joints, but rather are considered to be "independent contractors" who actually PAY the strip joints for the privilege of dancing there. They get to keep all or part of the tips they receive from the customers, whom the establishment charges admission fee and/or minimum drink fees.
The strip joints do this because they think they won't have to comply with wage and hour laws, as well as any criminal liabilities. But if the owners control substantial part of their "working conditions" the dancers should be deemed to be "employees" of the establishment, and they may be owed back-wages that comply with the federal and state wage and hour laws.....
You go Kennedy Hodges! It's God's work you are doing!
Slapping my forehead. When I got my law degree I went into real estate.
