Sex Workers Union

The SWU represents people including full-service sex workers, strippers, webcam models and pornographic actors.

In 2023, the USW disbanded and its former members joined the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU)[3] as the Sex Workers' Union branch.

[7] For instance, in 2020 Sonia Nowak with the aid of the union won a legal case classifying strippers as workers, not independent contractors.

[9][10][11][12][13] The union has been involved in numerous campaigns and protests, including the "Red Umbrella" campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the violence and discrimination faced by sex workers.

[14] The Sex Workers Union has been subject to coverage in Studies in Political Economy, Vice,[citation needed] and Social and Legal Studies.
