STRIPPERS WIN RIGHT TO MEAL BREAKS, OT AT BOB JONES UNIVERSITY

GREENVILLE, SC - Bob Jones University. University strippers have won the right to take time off after taking their clothes off.

The county’s Chamber of Commerce, who regulates matters such as these, on Friday approved new workplace rules for members of the strippers' union, The University Striptease Artists of America.

"We've got rights to have public holiday pay now such as Martin Luther King Day, which we've never had in our career before," said a union spokeswoman called Mystical Melody. "We've got rosters and set hours. We can't work more than 10 hours a shift."

The award also entitles unionized strippers to overtime, rest periods, meal breaks and maternity leave, she added.

"The majority of workers in the industry are women," Melody said, "so it's probably a really great thing for them to be able to feel confident of having a job after they've had their babies."

Union representative Bill Mansfield said the award set out minimum working conditions but did not set out pay rates.

It was not immediately clear how many members the union has. Its members are believed to work mainly in strip bars and as erotic dancers, on and off the campus, and all from Bob Jones in this right-to-work state.
