Dancers at Los Angeles bar to become only unionized strippers in US after 15-month battle

Apparently, I've been under a rock as today's thread from Cory Doctrow - @pluralistic@mamot.fr is the first I had heard of this.

Where I live such entertainers are considered independent contractors (1099) and as such it is ILLEGAL for them to unionize. Is there something different in California that qualifies them as employees (W2)?

If not, how did they get around the capitalist governments' rules?
