> a San Francisco strip club that did an IPO in the first dot-com boom and went bust
There was a moderately famous documentary about unionization at a San Francisco strip club just a few years before that (called Live Nude Girls Unite). I wonder if the IPO one could have made an effective documentary subject as well.
They unionized, but only one club, and that one went bust. All the other strip clubs were owned by one guy, who's dead now. The SF strippers eventually won the gig worker pay lawsuit in 2022, but the class action settlement terms are not great.[1]
