Washington State Passes Strippers' Rights Law. Gov.
Jay Inslee signed the measure, which creates safer working conditions for adult entertainment workers and allows clubs to sell alcohol. The new law requires establishment employees to receive training to prevent sexual harassment, identify and report human trafficking, de-escalate conflicts, and provide first aid. Most of the state's dancers are independent contractors who collect from clients and then must pay club dues each shift, Madison Zack-Wu explained in a press release.
