The performers at Chippendales in Las Vegas are unionizing with the Actors' Equity Association. A supermajority of the dancers at the Rio have signed union cards and announced plans to join the union, seeking fair pay and improved working conditions. They have also filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. This move marks the first time a male revue in Las Vegas has unionized, with the dancers aiming to set a precedent in the entertainment industry. The unionization effort is intended to ensure that the performers can continue to provide world-class entertainment in a world-class workplace.
