A union representing Edinburgh’s strippers has said winning its battle against the city’s strip club ban was “essential to save the jobs of hundreds of workers” in the Scottish capital.
The City of Edinburgh Council voted through a nil-cap policy in March, limiting the number of establishments in the capital to zero and effectively forcing its four strip clubs to close from April next year.
Now the United Sex Workers (USW) union is trying to raise £20,000 to launch a judicial review against the authority in a last-ditch attempt to keep clubs open.
