Nevada Sex Workers Fight for Union Protection
Here’s a summarized version of the article, written as if it were part of the original text:
Sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, are seeking to become the first in the United States to unionize, petitioning the National Labor Relations Board under the name United Brothel Workers. This effort was reportedly spurred by a new independent contractor agreement that would grant the brothel broad control over workers’ likenesses and intellectual property. The workers argue that despite their independent contractor classification, they function as employees due to set schedules and a mandated hourly rate, seeking the rights and protections afforded to employees.
