Recruiting fellow yoga teachers in Britain to join a union is not easy for Hayley Johns, but for help, she has turned to an unlikely source: sex workers. | News24_Business

The USW helped stripper Sonia Nowak secure worker status at an employment tribunal in 2020, a decision that could help strippers and workers in other sectors achieve the same status, said Sarah Keogh, an employment barrister who worked on the case.

Union representatives said the successful cases could help them bargain for the rights of strippers working in the same clubs, as was the case with Uber drivers, who secured workers' rights for all of the ride hailing app's 70 000 British drivers after two drivers won worker status in the Supreme Court in 2021."By aligning ourselves with the labour movement, we are situating ourselves as workers and using union tactics to access workers' rights and protections.

"Nannies are isolated in how they work and their workplace is often in someone else's home," said Caradonna."It's not like there's an HR department." Sex workers use word of mouth, existing support groups and safety networks to reach out to isolated or criminalised workers, an approach that Hall said had been effective in organising nannies facing similar barriers and cut off from each other. For the USW's Caradonna, the next step is to establish a union specifically for reproductive workers - those carrying out labour traditionally considered domestic or women's work, such as cleaning, childcare or cooking.

_Business 'Sex worker' is an antiwhite term for prostitute. Feminists don't complain about the 'objectification' of prostitutes because they don't actually care about women, they just use them as pretexts for their antiwhite conclusions, like inverting Western gender norms.
