In the United States, cheerleaders form a union to fight for wages Dancers from the famous Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have officially formed a union to negotiate with management over working conditions and wages. The owners of the Texas team recognized the new organization. The club's management expressed a willingness to start agreeing on the details of a new employment contract and social guarantees in the near future. The establishment of the association has already received official support from the NFL Players Association. This step was preceded by many years of financial disputes. The situation began to change in 2018 after a lawsuit by one of the former members of the team, which led to a doubling of the fee per game. The real catalyst for change was the popular Netflix documentary series, which showed the problem of low income for female artists. Under public pressure, in 2025 the girls obtained an unprecedented 400% wage increase, raising the hourly rate of experienced dancers from $15 to $75. Scandals surrounding the pay of cheerleaders in American sports have been going on for decades. The wealthiest clubs have historically paid the girls a token sum, forcing them to pay for uniforms and related expenses themselves. The first attempt to form a union was made by the Buffalo Bills dancers back in 1995, but their cheerleading squad was completely disbanded in 2014. The success of the Dallas girls could set a precedent and forever change the standards of cheerleading in professional sports. In the past, the labor inspectorate defended the rights of strippers in the Nizhny Novgorod club.
