Strippers in Montreal will strike over the F1 Canadian Grand Prix weekend.
A group of strippers in Montreal have planned strike action during this weekend’s Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix.
The Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC) will strike on 23 May, coinciding with the sprint race and qualifying at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
The strike’s timing aims at the Grand Prix, known as the “busiest” and “most lucrative period of the year” for clubs in Montreal.
Last year, a record crowd attended the Montreal race, showing the event’s popularity.
The strippers argue that clubs hold too much power over dancers during these high-profit periods.
The SWAC highlights challenges like increased bar fees, overbooking, and overall worsened working conditions during such events.
The strippers’ aim is to disrupt club profits and address safety concerns commonly overlooked in the profession.
