LINCOLN An exotic dancer has sued a Waverly, Neb., club claiming the owner is stripping her of her wages.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Elizabeth Mays, a resident of Wisconsin, said she has danced at the Shakers club since 2004, but never been paid an hourly wage.
She claims that the strip club is incorrectly regarding its exotic dancers as independent contractors to avoid paying wages and time and a half for overtime.
The dancers attorney, Vince Powers of Lincoln, said the dancers do not fit the definition of independent contractors because Shakers regulates the dancers dress, music, hours and other conditions of employment. Right now, their only pay is tips from customers.

This also means Shaker's hasn't paid Social Security on the ladies either. OS
