[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Strip clubs pay $300K in wage suit

Posted: 11/30/2014 6:22:32 PM EDT

Beavers Gentlemen’s Club has paid a court judgment of more than $300,000 in a
federal wage-and-hour suit, effectively ending a suit filed by
former employees.

The federal lawsuit, filed last year in Amarillo’s U.S. District Court by Perry Stevenson and Michael Clark, named Roozi Inc., Beavers Gentlemen’s Club, Cheetahs, Babes Gentleman’s Club and longtime Amarillo businessman Behrooz Sadigh-Pour as defendants.

Under terms of the settlement, the clubs will pay $318,379 plus interest to 21 employees who filed or joined the suit, according to a court judgment. Employees will receive unpaid wages in amounts ranging from $2,312 to $27,565.

Not the strippers. Strippers are independent contractors.

The suit claimed the clubs, owned by Sadigh-Pour, did not pay overtime or minimum wage to a class of employees, including disc jockeys, security personnel, bartenders, waiters and greeters, violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.

There's a multi million dollar suit against one of the local strip clubs for not paying the women. They worked only for tips and apparently it finally pissed one of them off enough to do something about it.

Behrooz is a penny pinching asshole of the highest order. When I worked for him in the late 90s I had to get physically violent with him to get my last check. I kinda bypassed the court system...
