Blumenthal Nordrehaug & Bhowmik File A Class Action Lawsuit Against Victory Entertainment For Alleged Misclassification of Exotic Dancers as Independent Contractors
(PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- The Los Angeles employment law lawyers at Blumenthal Nordrehaug & Bhowmik filed a class action lawsuit against Victory Entertainment on behalf of the company's Exotic Dancers alleging that the gentlemen's club illegally classified their exotic dancers as independent contractors in order to avoid paying their share of payroll taxes, minimum wages, and other business related expenses.
The Victory Entertainment VIP Showgirls class action lawsuit is currently pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court as Case No. BC620273. A copy of the class action complaint can be read by clicking here.
The class action lawsuit filed by the Los Angeles labor attorneys alleges that Victory Entertainment hires workers to provide exotic dancing services at their VIP Showgirls club, but claims that the gentlemen's club classifies the exotic dancers as independent contractors (instead of as employees) in order to avoid paying proper wages and business related expenses.
Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the exotic dancers "had no opportunity for profit or loss because Defendant managed all aspects of the business including attracting investors, establishing the hours of operation and hiring and controlling the staff." According to the Complaint the company allegedly "established the minimum table dance tip amounts that should be collected" and also required the dancers to allegedly pay rent to dance at their club.
The Complaint also claims that if the exotic dancers were late or absent, the company would allegedly subject them to a fine or other adverse employment action.
