| Description | This article explores the legal basis for the dancers claims, from the treatment of employees and independent contractors under the NLRA, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and California and Nevada state laws, to the corresponding federal and state courts interpretations, tests, and classification of exotic dancers. The facts suggest that these cases would be successful under both California and Nevada law, as well as federal law. Furthermore, these lawsuits present the court with an ideal opportunity to apply the Fair abor Standards Acts model of employee/independent contractor law to the adult entertainment industry. Such a definitive judicial application would not only benefit public policy and the working conditions of thousands of working women, but may also have possible persuasive value in any subsequent NLRA action. Assuming that judicial determination of exotic dancers employee status on a class-wide basis would subsequently lead to an industry-wide change in the practice of treating dancers as independent contractors -- either voluntary, through further legal action, or by collective action on the part of dancers -- this article explores the future of their unionization and the unavoidable implications for the feminist movement. |
