A Victory for Pole Dancers Everywhere!

From National Law Journal 6/9/09:  When it comes to wage-and-hour laws, strippers are no different from pizza delivery drivers or waitresses.

That’s what plaintiffs attorney E. Michelle Drake of Minneapolis-based Nichols Kaster claims in a wage-and-hour class action recently filed against a strip club in suburban Minneapolis. The suit claims that the King of Diamonds club is violating state and federal wage-and-hour laws by intentionally misclassifying entertainers as independent contractors and requiring them to pay fees — between $20 and $100 a night — to come to work, much as a hair salon charges a stylist for a chair.
