Rick’s strippers have privacy worries: lawyer

Strippers who value their privacy have a lot more to worry about than getting letters about joining a suit against Rick’s Cabaret, according to lawyers pressing the class-action wage case.

The bump-and-grinders face the routine risk of exposure to anyone entering the club where they shake their booty, as well as potential inquiries from roommates or relatives about their “odd working hours or unique wardrobe,” court papers say.

In addition, “(e)very time the entertainer is in public with her roommate/relative, a customer could recognize her and call her by her stage name.”

Today’s Manhattan federal court filing came in response to a move by lawyers representing more than 100 Rick’s pole workers who say they don’t want to be contacted about the suit filed by Sabrina Hart and Reka Furedi.

The former dancers claim the jiggle joint short-changed them by redeeming “dance dollar” tips for $6 less than the $24 that the club charges patrons to buy them.
