Andrew Wright at People’s World reports on Exotic Dancers who were locked out of Star Garden, a North Hollywood Strip Club, in early 2022.  After 15 months on Strike, the locked-out Workers finally got a chance to vote and won their Union - unanimously.  They are now represented by Actors’ Equity.   Their Strike was as much a symbol of resistance as Actors, Screenwriters, Waffle House Staff, Graduate Students, Casino Workers, Teachers, Auto Workers and UPS Employees.  “We create stories and characters, that is our strength.  That is the essence of what we do and it’s essential to what Actors and Writers do,” says Charm, a Hollywood-based Actress and Stripper, and one of the Dancers. “It’s important to know how we have been victimized, but it’s so important to show them that they can’t kill your spirit.”
