A union representing strippers at a topless bar in Los Angeles have filed suit with the NLRB, alleging that the club violated the terms of an 2023 agreement after the dancers won the right the unionize. The complaint alleges that Star Garden failed to uphold the settlement by dramatically altering the way the business was run, including reducing its hours, inflating drink prices, and adopting a no-cash policy. The union regards these actions as an attempt to weaken the dancers' position in advance of contract negotiations. Lawyers for the club counter that the dancers have proved insubordinate since the agreement in an attempt to closing the business. The NLRB is seeking to force Star Garden to comply with the terms of the 2023 settlement, as well as provide compensation for the dancers' lost income.
