Dancer sues strip club, claims violations of federal labor law
Another exotic dancer has sued another Wisconsin strip club over how she was paid — or not paid — to perform, suggesting she and her peers are really employees who get exploited as independent contractors.
In a federal wage lawsuit, Debra Weiss names Texas Jay's North in Birnamwood as the defendant, along with owner John A. Urban and several unknown John Does.

Like similar cases, it alleges that Texas Jay's North failed to pay Weiss and other dancers minimum wage and overtime pay, and illegally kept portions of their tips to pay other club staff.
Massachusetts Economic Stimulus Package Wage and Hour Laws
In 2018, the Massachusetts legislature enacted sweeping legislation , also referred to as the "grand bargain" bill, which, among other things, increased the minimum wage and phased out the Sunday and holiday premium pay requirements with respect to all state holidays except New Year's Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day. Those holidays were unaffected by the "grand bargain" legislation and were not subject to the phasedown.
Under Sections 74 and 75 of the new economic stimulus legislation, which amends M.G.L. c. 136 § 16, those three holidays are now included in the "grand bargain's" phase out of the Massachusetts holiday premium pay requirement. The new legislation did not apply to New Year's Day this year because the holiday had already passed at the time the governor signed the bill.

In a year where Massachusetts residents saw historic unemployment levels and business closures across the state due to COVID-19, overtime for state employees increased by roughly 9.3% in 2020. Collectively, state employees took home $2.84 billion with some doubling their take-home pay with overtime, according to a MassLive analysis of state payroll data.
