Dancers at a Los Angeles bar could soon become the only unionized group of strippers in the U.S.The Actors’ Equity Association labor union says owners of the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood have withdrawn their opposition and agreed to recognize the strippers' union.For 15 months, dancers at the club have sought safer workplace conditions, better pay and health insurance, among other benefits. But their unionization drive was stalled by objections and legal challenges from the club's management.The union announced this week that management had agreed to a settlement. A formal vote count by the National Labor Relations Board has been set for Thursday. “We’re hoping what we’ve done to unionize this club will have laid the groundwork for any other stripper in the country who decides that they want to also have a voice in the way their workplace is run,” Lilith, a dancer at Star Garden, told The Associated Press. Lilith asked not to be identified by her legal name in thi...

Lynx, Reeve energized around new star duo of Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:05:30 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Lynx tried a stopgap approach to filling the void from the disassembly of their four-championship dynasty, a patchwork process that worked all right until a collapse last season left them out of the playoffs and produced the worst record in 13 seasons under head coach Cheryl Reeve.The time for a clear new direction has come, with Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller leading the way.Collier’s return and Miller’s arrival have sparked a freshness around one of the WNBA’s model franchises and left Reeve feeling “energized and enthused” by her first training camp without anyone from the last title-winning team in 2017. The Lynx open the season on Friday against Chicago.“As ‘Phee’ grows in her skillset and Diamond improves in her skillset, yeah, that’s a pretty good combination,” Reeve said.Collier accelerated her maternity leave last year to play one last time next to Sylvia Fowles, coming back for the final four games.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — For much of Thursday morning and into the early afternoon, it sure appeared as if Rory McIlroy’s early exit struggles at the Masters last month were carrying over into the PGA Championship.And then, suddenly, everything changed.McIlroy’s desperation 36-foot putt for par from the fringe early on his back nine went up a hill, caught the right lip of the hole and dropped to raise both a loud cheer from the gallery and McIlroy’s spirits.By avoiding the prospect of falling to 4 over through the second hole — his 11th hole — McIlroy rallied to finish the opening round at 1-over 71, staying in the mix at Oak Hill.“It was massive. I was just hoping to get down in two and make bogey,” McIlroy said. “Depending on what happens over the next three days and what I go on to do, you know, I may look back at that shot as being the sort of turning point of the week.”At the very least, the two-time PGA Championship winner has given himself a chance to continue competing on a co...
