Where's the beef? Why do reporters continue to put forward propaganda about so called sex trafficking without ever providing the documentation to back up these statements?
Just because a state legislator says sex trafficking exist certainly doesn't mean it is true.
Remember the 'weapons of mass distruction' line used by the US govenrment to justify colonializm?
When has an exotic dancer or porn worker ever been found to have been a victim of forced labor?
What is true is that:
Exotic dancers have been members of class action lawsuits in California that have won back the illegally taken monies in the form of 'stage fees and quotas' taken from them by the dance club owners and managers.
We can't get the feds to investigate the almost 200 state labor commission judgments against the same dance club owners for labor law violations.
We can't get the feds to investigate those same club owners even though 500 dancers recently have won 2.4 million dallars in back wages and illegally taken monies in the form of 'stage fees and quotas'. Or how about getting the feds to investigate the 10 million dallar lawsiut now being ligtiaged against Jim Mitchell, the convicted murder of his brother and business partner, Artie by 360 dancers.
Now, there are some real numbers to report on.
Legalization Sucks. Even the Nevada brothel system has flaws. Legal brothel owners in Nevada have sustained simular actions against them for labor law violation.
Regulating any erotic laborer industry only amounts to institutionalizing Jim Crow laws for sex industry workers.
Erotic Laborers have to be at the center of any regulation regarding us, not some poverty pimping state legislator. Why isn't he spending his time promoting us as being the one's who ought to be self determined in our own agency?
And why are you reporting about that?
