The Girls Of Star Garden On Thursday, 24 August 2 The Girls Of Star Garden On Thursday, 24 August 2023 the dancers of the Star Garden topless bar in North Hollywood returned to their place of work for the first time in almost a year and a half. This time was different, they were returning as the only unionized strippers in the United States. Wicked, one of the dancers at Star garden, proudly said “We fought for it, we worked for it, we bled for it, we cried for it. We made history.” A series of problems and security issues led the dancers to collectively leave the club a year and a half ago. After club security had repeatedly failed to protect the dancers from both drunk patrons and sexual harassment and management offered very few benefits, including a lack of payment and proper contracts, the decision was made, to go on strike. The decision to strike essentially shut down Star Garden, placing it on the verge of bankruptcy. Following the decision to go on strike, multiple unfair labor practice charges were filed against Star Garden. While the bar owners tried to stop the dancers’ unionization, The National Labor Relations Board, NLRB, ultimately sided with the dancers. The dancers were later voted to become a part of the Actors' Equity Association labor union, becoming the nation's only strippers with union representation. With this one victory, the girls still have a long way to go. The club reopened up under tense vibes between the girls and management, including a temporary interim contract until a final one is agreed upon. The bar previously did not have a cover charge, but is now charging $40 per person. No other club in the area has a cover even close to that amount. The lap dance booth, a big income source, was not open since there is no financial agreement with management yet. Also, the drink prices have drastically increased. Despite all the set backs there was a grand celebration of unity outside Star Garden on the warm summer evening of 24 August 2023. @epa_images
