    Can I Sue These Assholes?

    So I was recently fired from a club I work at because they found out I work at another club as well. They said they didn't want me working for the competition. However, half the others girls at this club work at other places that are far bigger competitors. The owns have never liked me for some odd reason. I think it's because I stick up for myself. Anyway, does anyone think I could sue these bastards for unlawfull termination or something. I never signed a contract with these guys if it helps.

    You could probably sue them, but depending on your INCOME TAX situation that may or may not be a good thing. It may also be extremely hard to get a positive result from the lawsuit.

    I would agree they didn't like you because you stick up for yourself. Most SC managers don't like strippers who have the balls to stand up to them. Ask NinaDaisy. I would say the excuse they used for firing you was bullshit - they were just looking for a reason.

    Are you on a payroll? Did you pay any taxes? If you're only an independant contractor, they can do whatever they want. You didnt agree to certain rules, therefor they dont have to give you a reason for firing you. Most clubs will toss you if they catch you working for another club.

    In my opinion, if you try to sue you will not get anywhere with it. I know I'll get flamed for saying this but I would just get a friend to bash his car with a metal baseball bat. That's really messed up of them to fire you for no reason since all the other girls were doing it.

    In a word "NO" you can not sue them. As an IC you pretty much don't have any "rights" they have been pretty much hiring you every night, they are not now and never were under any obligation to keep hiring you, even though they did and do not have to hire you any more.

    And yes if you mess with them they probably could drop a dime on you and fuck you over with the IRS. "she made 100K last year" even if you didn't

    ^^^No flames here. I'm with Paige and pinkkitten. It will be a lot of trouble for you with probably little return.

    I'm sorry, though. Nothing like being smacked down by the strip-cub Man. It's a special kind of burn.

    In order to attempt to sue them, #1 you need to prove that you were wrongfully dismissed which is extremely difficult if you were considered an independent contractor (and without a contract to boot) not an 'employee', no matter what the 'grounds' might be. #2 you need to prove how much income you lost by being wrongfully dismissed, meaning that you're inviting a judge to go through your previous years' personal finances / tax returns with a fine tooth comb - probably with the requested assistance of the IRS and your state tax dep't. As someone else posted, it's extremely difficult for dancers to prove that they did NOT earn X amount of dollars in undocumented cash should someone claim you were earning megabucks - particularly so if that dancer's past financial records are a bit sketchy.

    IMHO attempting to sue this club involves way more risk of loss than potential gain.

    Just put it down to politics. It always is with me. I also know a certain club locally most likely didn't hire me when I applied to work there due to the fact that I do private party/agency work locally. They gave me one reason which was pretty damn vague so I just put 1+1 together to figure out the most likely real reason.

    It sucks. It always does however just realise that there is definately a cloud with a silver lining with this... you no longer have to work for a shitty club like that one anymore. They did you a favour by firing you so you do not have to ever work there again. Just remember the not-so-good stuff about the place to make you feel better

    That always helps with me

    I figured there was bubkiss I could do. I actually have only been working there a couple months. Oh well....Karmas a BITCH. And I believe she was a former stripper.
