She also speaks about wider issues in the industry and what they would like to see change.  *Alice's name has been changed to protect her privacy.  Calendar Girls claimed in a statement it had not changed its private dancer cost for 12 years. “In hindsight we should put the cost up a little each year.” The organisation said that while the percentage had changed, the contractor amount went up. However, the former worker disagreed and said a 50 per cent cut was less than 60 per cent. Calendar Girls also said the contracts were written by a specialist lawyer and although there were fines in the contracts “not one” has been issued in Wellington this financial year. “The 19 contractors, some of which who have already moved on or only do a day here and there and, with a limited amount of lockers, we need them for new contractors working weekly. All of which were told they could re-apply online.” A dancer also disputed the claim they were told to re-apply.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
