When the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar reopens Thursday, Aug. 24 in North Hollywood, it will feature the nation’s only unionized strippers. Representatives with Star Garden could not be reached for comment. One of the club’s strippers, who goes by the stage name Lilith, said she’s ready to hit the stage again. Things turned around during a May 18 settlement hearing with Actors’ Equity when Star Garden owners withdrew all of their election challenges. “It’s a work in progress.”Velveeta, a Star Garden dancer, said last year that the dancers were in dire need of collective bargaining.
