This was the first thing I found when I did an internet search NRLB limits ability for Independent Contractors to Form a Union
As a pro wrestling fan the independent contractor gimmick is what I've always heard is the reason wrestlers can't form a union. For a short time this became mainstream attention after Jordon Oliver covered it.
I think the idea is that its harder (hence limit) but not outright illegal, hence how voice actors do have a union, despite being independent contractors.
It wouldnt. The bigger issue is strippers generally dont do it for a long time, harder to form a union when theres high turnover.
While some entertainers do it for a short time, there are plenty that do it for 20+ years.
True, very true. Admittedly, I don't go to strip clubs. Never felt the need when internet porn exists.
But I do know that turnover is often encouraged to help keep unions from forming.
