New York Post - Trouble is brewing in America’s strip club capital, where dancers from one bar have been on strike for nearly four months as they attempt to become the second unionized strip club in the country.
Most of the 33 strippers employed by Portland’s Magic Tavern launched their strike on April 4, citing “dangerous working conditions,” Willamette Week reported.“We’re fighting for basic safety and respect in the workplace, just like any other industry expects,” Nyx, one of the dancers on strike, told the outlet.
The dancers say a slew of safety concerns spurred the strike, ranging from a lack of security cameras, an unstable pole, unmarked and uneven stage flooring, the scent of gas and more. They accuse management of retaliating against dancers who complained, and naming an official club group chat “Anus Tarts.”
Magic Tavern’s owner did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The club remains open, with the non-striking dancers on stage, according to Willamette Week.

Portland ain't got anything compared to the ATL strip club scene. A club in SW Atlanta had a stripper with a Lush vibrator that her partner would rent out the control cell phone while she did her nude dance on stage last month.
