In another example that no organization is immune from Fair Labor Standards Act complaints, several “exotic dancers” at the Spearmint Rhino and other Los Angeles area clubs have alleged that they have not been paid minimum wage and have been misclassified as independent contractors. The dancers’ made their allegations under the name of the “California Coalition of Undressed Performers.” That didn’t sit well with the court that found that for the dancers to pursue their case they’d have to provide their real names- no pseudonyms. No word on how that will turn out. [Exotic Dancers v. Spearmint Rhino, C.D. Cal.]
