Let's not forget those who helped pave the way:

April 10, 1997: Exotic dancers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady, ratified their first-ever union contract. Thus they became the first successfully unionized sex business. (Pacers, in San Diego, had unionized a few years earlier. However, they had an open shop, allowing management to recruit new, non-union employees. Consequently, they were able to decertify the union.) Lusty Lady later became a worker-owned cooperative and a member of NoBAWC (the network of Bay Area Workers Collectives).

The possibility of #Switter adopting a #PlatformCoop model has me remembering the saga of the #LustyLady #WorkerCoop peep show in SF years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusty_Lady#Worker_cooperative
