If you follow Cardi B on Instagram at all, you’ve probably watched a couple of her relatable video rants.
In particular, a subject Cardi is keen on discussing is the treatment of strippers. She talks about the way strippers are often viewed and mistreated by people.

But now we have another issue come to light in the world of stripping for money.
This controversy seems to be focused on the mistreatment the dancers receive from their fellow colleagues, bartenders and now a group of NYC strippers are going on strike.
“According to the DE FACTO LEADER of the NYC Stripper Strike – a dancer named Gizelle – bartenders get preferential treatment at NYC clubs. And the drink pourers often make MORE money than the dancers – even though they NEVER have to take off their clothes.”
As bartenders continue to steal the spotlight and mistreat the dancers, it seems they aren’t the only ones who are disrespecting.
Racism becomes a factor in the way the strippers are regarded too.
Brown and Black dancers who are looking to work high-earning nights (i.e. when a celebrity comes in) are allegedly facing serious discrimination when it comes to being able to dance when they want.

“Thank you everyone!!! I just want to say, I stopped dancing in New York before this started and for these reasons! So we’re doing this for all of us!!! #NYCstripperstrike,” Writes one striker, under her caption.
The strippers of NYC have even had a few meet up sessions to discuss the issues at hand. This shit seems pretty serious, so it’s interesting to see how far this is going to go.
Maybe all the strippers of the world will unite and we’ll see a change in bartending forever?
One things for sure, our ladies deserve to keep every dollar earned after a long night of work.
