PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

Two local dancers said enough is enough. They are suing the owner of the strip club they worked at, saying they were harassed and treated unfairly in the workplace.

The women say it happened at Casa Diablo, which bills itself as one of the country's first vegan strip clubs.

Amy Pitts and Matilda Bickers used to dance at the club, but they quit their jobs and filed a lawsuit against the club's owner, John Zukle.

The fight is over the dancer's employment status. Most Portland clubs hire strippers as independent contractors.

They don't have to pay payroll tax. They don't have to give you any kind of benefits. There's no workers comp. You don't get sick leave," Pitts said.

It also means no protection against harassment. The women say, they were constantly harassed by the club's bouncers and management.

"I had one particular bouncer who would just grab my boobs and untie my outfits or spank me," Bickers said.

Pitts and Bickers claim the owner would ask them to come home to have sex with him or his wife.

"I guess some people would be like Haha, he was just joking,' but after that incident, he cut my shifts," Pitts said.
