I used to run this club from 1999 to 2011. I took care of the girls. We made money and my security was top-notch and could hold their own. I used to live upstairs in one of the apartments for 23 years and moved out in March of this year.

I interviewed Reagan and Velveeta.

STORY:
When strippers get tired of being treated like crap they picket.

The labor conflict began after two dancers, Selena and Reagan, were fired. A note on the dancers’ Instagram account says Selena was fired after “intervening” when a customer was filming her without her consent. Reagan was fired after she asked the club to stop allowing men to loiter in the club after closing—a safety hazard to the women working there.

After 19 out of the 24 remaining dancers signed a petition asking for safety and other improvements to the club, the club owners locked them out.

Dancers take issue with their working conditions, which they say include insects and rodents, broken debris, and a hole in the stage. They are also concerned about their personal safety: dancers are against a club policy that doesn’t let security guards intervene when customers harass them without getting the owner's permission. They also want the bar to stop over-serving customers, and for photography to be banned from the club.
