When Montreal’s Formula 1 weekend kicks off later this month, the city’s exotic dancers won’t be in pole position. Strippers in the Canadian city are planning to strike ahead of F1’s Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday, May 23 — one of the busiest weekends of the year — in a bid to become salaried employees subject to the same protections as other workers in the country, per The Montreal Gazette. Many dancers in Quebec are not paid a salary and are often required to pay an out-of-pocket “bar service fee,” forcing them to rely on tips to earn a living.
