Greg Haas KLAS-TV In Las Vegas reports the Chippendales aren’t getting the respect they deserve, according to the Actors’ Equity Association.  The iconic Performers for the all-male revue have been in residence at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for more than two decades. They joined the Union in October and anticipated a voluntary move to improve wages and working conditions.  Now, as the act prepares to move to the Mat Franco Theater at The Linq in January, the Union has filed an Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).  Union Representatives say the Chippendales have been targeted by Union-Busting tactics and forced to reaudition and reapply for their jobs.  The Union says that’s just a smokescreen to remove known Union supporters.  The Union is seeking an injunction calling for the reinstatement of all of these Workers, among other remediations.  “Retaliating against Unionizing Workers this way isn’t just shameful, it’s illegal,” Actors’ Equity President Brooke Shields said.
