Jessica Hill at the Associated Press reports Nevada is the only State where people can legally purchase sex and now Sex Workers at one of the State's oldest Brothels are fighting to become the Nation's first to be Unionized. “We want the same things that any other Worker wants. We want a safe and respectful workplace,” said a Worker at Sheri’s Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada who goes by the stage name Jupiter Jetson. She asked her legal name not be used for fear of harassment. Prostitution is legal at licensed Brothels in 10 of Nevada's Rural Counties. That doesn't include Clark County, home to Las Vegas, though Sheri’s Ranch is about an hour's drive away. The majority of the Brothel's 74 Sex Workers submitted a petition to Unionize with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) under the name United Brothel Workers, represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Jetson said the drive was spurred by a new independent contractor agreement issued in December that would give the Brothel power to use the Women's likeness - without permission, even if they no longer work there. Sheri’s Ranch could choose to recognize the CWA as the Sex Workers’ representatives and begin negotiating a new contract immediately, according to Union Attorneys.
