I thought the first headline was about restaurants preventing lawsuits by banning TRIPS. I imagined a sign explicitly banning patrons from tripping over, and using the sign as a defence in an injury lawsuit.
Actually I wonder if it could work?
So when is the SEIU going to organize strippers.
When the SEIU will try to organize strippers when, and if, it thinks it has the kind of physical and political muscle to confront and overcome the kind of people who generally own strip clubs (and I am not talking about the cat’s-paw whose name is on the liquor license).
