The Glasgow lap dancers who joined a union
“If your job is under threat, you are going to unionise to fight that. Dancing is no different.”
The words of Megara Furie, a former lap dancer who now works as a dominatrix. She is the driving force behind a curious chapter in the history of Scottish workers’ rights - the unionisation of lap dancers and sex workers.
BBC News interviewed Megara and Kayleigh Barrington, a lap dancer at Seventh Heaven club, which last month signed a union agreement with its staff.
It comes as Glasgow City Council holds a consultation on the future of "sexual entertainment venues" which some lap dancers see as a threat to their jobs.
