Line 46: == Live Action TV == * [https://web.archive.org/web/20110322053006/http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/TheGuild The Guild of Companions] in ''[[Firefly (TV series)\|Firefly]]'', although Companions are more like Ancient Greek ''Hetairai'', or a cross between prostitutes, geishas, therapists, and confessors. ** Nandi's brothel is rather bizarre, because while on one hand it's a standard brothel run by a madam, it's also something of a mutual-aid society (given Nandi's training). Line 63: == Real Life == * [[Truth in Television]]: There is such an organisation in the UK called the ''International Union of Sex Workers''., ~~They're~~which is part of the GMB, ~~and I{{who}} remember an article from a few years back{{when}} about table~~-~~dancers~~ ~~joining~~Britain's ~~the~~General ~~GMB as well~~Union, ~~inspired by the example. (The GMB~~which is ~~Britain's General Union—basically~~ a way for those who're ~~aren't~~in trades or otherwise not part of the ~~huge~~larger professions to have a chance at some representation at the higher levels). As [https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-49022743 this article]indicates, table-dancers were inspired by them to join the GMB as well. There is also the English Collective of Prostitutes. ** In general there are a [[wikipedia:Category:Sex worker organizations\|lot of these]], including the admittedly silly-sounding Canadian Guild of Erotic Labour and the International Sex Worker Foundation for Art, Culture and Education, which also focuses on the collection and preservation of art by and about sex workers.
