SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Australian strippers have won the right to take time off after taking their clothes off.

The country's Industrial Relations Commission on Friday approved new workplace rules for members of the strippers union, the Striptease Artists Australia.

"We've got rights to have public holiday pay now, which we've never had in our career before," said a union spokeswoman called Mystical Melody. "We've got rosters and set hours. We can't work more than 10 hours a shift."

I can just imagine their union contract language:


"If stripper is incapbable to dance or hold onto a pole due to rolling on too much extasy, the owner will provide the following options to the stripper:

1) Priority on couch dances
2) Will be afforded the more prime area of customers for drinks or table dances
3) Priority on performing shower shows*
4) Full access to the VIP lounge

(*) the water temperture of all shower show performance areas must met standard of between 70 and 80 degrees at all times and be tested hourly by union rep.

Union contract? With all the usual seniority rules? Ick!

Now back to chewing on an electric wire for a little home electroshock therapy to try to forget Helen Thomas's picture.

Speaking of rules, pictures are necessary. Or, no soup for you!
