This is not about "preferences" "bitterness" "saltiness" or begging people to like us, this is about stopping blatant sabotage in an attempt to have an equal opportunity to make a decent living.

Dark-Skinned Strippers Go on Strike in NYC Due to Racist Club Owners 1 of 7❯❮Strippers Vs.

The stakes are too high. Colorism is an issue faced in most[if not all] black gentlemens clubs. It's been so normalized that those few outliers willing to fight against it get ostracized and crushed very quickly. Managers retaliate. They out them. They threaten. They actually send people to attack them. Dancers have a lot at stake. They want to make a living. Some of them have children and others they have to take care of. Dancing may be their only source of income and it's difficult to save up for a rainy day in this economy while simultaneously fighting against that sabotage that is making the money thin in the first place. They see it. They just might feel trapped because the stakes are just too high--there's way too much to lose.

Good for them!

Like any other industry, the sex work industry, or the exchange of sexual services for financial gain, has labor issues including discrimination, unfair contracts and disproportionate pay policies. The #NYCStripperStrikebrings these issues to light and advocates for sex workers all over the country.

This whole business in the New York City clubs has just exhausted me and made me feel so sad and hopeless.

This is the first time anyone has got enough people together to have the courage to fight the bad guys.

The bad guys get all the support and are used to coming out on top.

I wonder if the bad guys will win again this time.

NYC strippers are striking to protest scantily clad 'startenders' with huge social media followings — here's a look inside the battle

Aces New York

New York strippers are organizing a strike to protest discrimination in the industry. 

One issue: a new wave of bartenders — also known as "startenders" or bottle girls — have started taking away tips, sometimes even snatching money off the stage. 

Startenders have risen to prominence in the last few years with the rise of Instagram, where they command huge followings. 

  New York City strippers are speaking out against what they say is unfair treatment at the hands of club promoters and managers. 

With the rise of "bottle girl" bartenders in the city, dancers say they're dealing with unfair treatment, including insufficient pay and racial discrimination, the Washington Post reported. According to strippers, bottle girls — who often are just as scantily clad as strippers — are given preferential treatment and hurt strippers' profits, sometimes literally taking dancers' cash off of tables. 

About a week ago, strippers organized under the hashtag #NYCStripperStrike to shine a light on these issues. 

Here's how bottle girls rose to prominence in recent years — and how they play a role in the recent strike. 

Clubs began to hire startenders as Instagram became more popular.

  While strippers have been club mainstays for decades, about five years ago, club owners began hiring attractive women with sizable social media followings to serve as bartenders.

Many of these bottle girls have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. And, some of these followers will show up to clubs just to see the bartenders in person.
