Privacy Worries Don't Shake Up Stripper Class Action
Exotic dancers at the Gold Club aren't shy about much, but there are some things even they don't bare in public. That would be their real names.
As the former bosses of the San Francisco establishment try to fend off a wage-and-hour class action, they're attempting to turn the dancers' penchant for privacy into a defense advantage.
Defense counsel Edi Thomas tried to persuade a San Francisco Superior Court judge last week that certifying a class in the case would wind up trampling on many dancers' privacy rights.
Many dancers are hard to contact -- often by design -- and moving ahead with a class action they don't know about would violate their right to due process, Thomas argued. Also, contacting them about the suit could compromise their privacy.
