More proof that price-fixing can take place in any industry: the owner of Adult Fire, an Australian company that puts on various X-rated strip shows for men and women, sued two of its Sydney rivals, Bombshells and Sex Bomb Promotions, for price-fixing. Sadly for Adult Fire the case was “quickly dismissed” after Bombshells and Sex Bomb handed over various documents to Australian courts. The two defendants were awarded the costs of the trial, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
According to the article, the issue came about after various Adult Fire dancers told Lorelle Katelan, the owner of Adult Fire, that they wanted to be paid the same rate as Bombshells and Sex Bomb dancers. Adult Fire paid its female dancers only $290 per 20 minute show, while the other two companies both paid $320. The owner of Bomb Shells, Tracey Craig, points out that “strippers were not supported by a union and had not been awarded a payrise in years.”
