flag Sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch are unionizing, challenging their contractor status amid claims of unfair treatment and potential labor rights precedent.

flag Sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, are leading the first known U.S. effort to unionize as the United Brothel Workers, represented by the Communications Workers of America, following a new independent contractor agreement that grants the brothel indefinite rights to use their likenesses and personal information. flag Workers, who say they are treated like employees with fixed schedules and mandatory $1,000 hourly rates but classified as contractors, claim they were pressured to sign the contract and allege some were fired after organizing. flag The National Labor Relations Board is reviewing the petition, with the outcome hinging on whether workers are classified as employees or independent contractors, a decision that could set a precedent for labor rights in the sex industry.
