Episode Details

Sex workers in Montreal plan a strike on May 23rd to protest unfair working conditions, targeting strip clubs and massage parlors during Grand Prix weekend. The main issue is the bar fee, a daily charge dancers pay to work, which has been increasing and leaves them with less than they made during busy times. Workers demand formal employee status, protections like sick leave, and a safer environment. The strike is part of a broader fight for decriminalization of sex work across Canada, inspired by past worker movements.
