The performers at Chippendales in Las Vegas are unionizing with the Actors' Equity Association. This move marks the first time a male revue in Las Vegas has sought union representation. A supermajority of the performers at the Rio have signed union cards and filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a union election. The dancers aim to secure fair pay, improved working conditions, and better benefits through a union contract. The unionization effort is seen as a step toward changing the landscape of the entertainment industry. The performers emphasize the need for a world-class workplace to continue providing world-class entertainment.
