Historically, that weekend is a gold mine for local nightlife. Packed clubs. Big spenders. Long nights. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"598\">So naturally, this is when they&#8217;re choosing to make a point.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"872\">The issue? Classification. Dancers say they&#8217;re treated as independent contractors on paper, but still answer to club management in ways that don&#8217;t exactly scream &#8220;independent.&#8221; In their view, it&#8217;s the worst of both worlds. No employee protections, but plenty of oversight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"913\">And honestly&#8230; you can see the argument.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"1042\">Using a major <a href=\"https:\/\/fanbuzz.com\/category\/racing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">racing<\/a> event to spotlight a labor dispute isn&#8217;t exactly new. It just usually doesn&#8217;t come with this particular backdrop.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1301\">Oh, and because Montreal apparently decided to schedule everything at once, there&#8217;s more. The Montreal Canadiens are also flirting with a deep playoff run, meaning the city could be juggling hockey chaos and F1 madness at the same time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1355\">Fast cars. Playoff pressure. Potential labor strike.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1420\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Montreal might be the busiest place on the planet that weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strip clubs in Montreal may be going quiet during one of their loudest weekends of the year.
