‘Worker’ status gives strippers and sex workers basic worker protections while allowing them to retain the label of self-employment and associated freedoms.
SW works with sex workers across the UK to improve conditions through collective negotiation and individual casework. We organise to establish ‘worker’ status, which will enable those working in clubs to claim basic rights at work, such as annual leave, sick pay, a guaranteed basic wage and the right to organise and be represented by a trade union. The sex workers unionisation campaign is organised in partnership with x:talk, a sex workers support project and in conjunction with Decrim Now, the campaign for the full decriminalisation of all sex work.
