## Resource

Sex workers in Montreal plan a general strike during the Grand Prix weekend, demanding better working conditions, labor protections, and full decriminalization. The strike aims to hit club owners where it hurts, as dancers often lose money due to mandatory fees. The legal landscape creates a dangerous gray zone, denying workers basic safety measures and legal recourse. The committee seeks international models for safer environments and recognition of sex work as a labor right. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
