With a union, together, we can make needed improvements to our workplace.” We’re like so many other workers who have learned that it’s not a choice between suffering abuse or quitting. “We would like our jobs even more if we had basic worker protections. “We like what we do,” said Velveeta, a Star Garden dancer who goes by a stage name, in a statement. Actors’ Equity – which represents Broadway actors, stage managers, Disney World performers and other regional theater actors – said it was supporting the effort and that if it was successful, the Star Garden workers would become the only strippers in the US currently represented by a union.

Jay Bratt, the chief of the counterintelligence section, opposed the release of a redacted affidavit since, given it contains significant grand jury information and investigative techniques, the redactions would be so extensive that it would show “nothing of substance”. “I’m not prepared to find that the affidavit should be fully sealed,” Reinhart said at a hearing in West Palm Beach. Ruling from the bench, the judge gave the department a week to propose redactions to the affidavit, which contains the probable cause used to justify the extraordinary search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort over his unauthorized retention of top secret and classified documents. The order from the federal judge Bruce Reinhart charted a middle ground between the justice department’s motion to oppose unsealing any part of the affidavit, and motions from a coalition of media outlets – and calls from the former president – to release the highly sensitive document.
