Quote: If they were genuinely unhappy with this situation then they can always leave the agency
Actually thats not true. Almost all of the legal talent agencies that are licensed and bonded with the state use a Division of Labor Standards and Enforcement approved contract that appears to be exclusive. So many of the performers that are unhappy with their agent are told they cant leave until their contract is up.
I get a lot of phone calls from performers looking to get out of their agency's contract.
ANY contract that calls for a person to work in unsafe and hazardous conditions is unenforceable. California law regarding blood borne pathogen exposure, like it or not, apply to the adult industry. The standard "Labor Board" contract does not allow for working in unsafe conditions. On shelley lubens website there used to be(it might still be there) a 'notification' form tos send to an agency in order to break your contract. Dont let any INDUSTRY sawyer tell you that you are sutck in a contradct that calls for you to work in unsafe conditions. It is simply not true.
The brooke ashley workers comp case settled all of this last year.
