Good for them.
There need to be harsher penalties for anti union actions from employers. Like, the business should be seized and given to the workers if they fire someone for trying to unionize.
Always unionize!
This is an interesting bit:
The women who work as courtesans at Sheri’s are hired as “independent contractors” by their employers (Jeremy Lemur, the brothel’s marketing director, provided a statement to Mother Jones that emphasized that specific phrasing multiple times). However, the terms of their actual jobs may not pass the “ABC test,” a legal framework used to determine whether a worker should be considered an employee.
And it’s not just the employer saying that they are independent contractors, the courtesans themselves say it several times. Such as:
“A lot of us are artists,” explained courtesan Paloma Karr, who is also a writer and activist. “We have all sorts of other jobs."
There’s a lot more to it than just a few quotes, but at least from the article, both sides seem to think they are independent contractors.
Glad to hear they’re taking employers off the list of people who can fuck them ✊

is there a non-paywall link anywhere?
Thanks. The site like national that let you read a few paragraphs before dropping the subscription requirements on you are the worst. Especially when it’s littered with ads to begin with.
As it does most time, just hit the Firefox Reader Mode button.
Salute to my fellow union members! Fight fight fight for fair treatment!
Fuck yeah ✊✊✊
Workers of the world unite!
