On International Workers’ Day, we celebrate workers across the world— those who organized, risked everything, and demanded dignity when the odds were stacked against them.

As we move forward with our fight for our rights, benefits, and inclusion, we are thankful for those who push for change! AE

Kenzie Anne VS. Vixen

A federal court just sent a clear message: adult performers are not “too individual” to stand together.
In a newly issued ruling out of the Central District of California, the court certified a class of hundreds of performers challenging their classification as independent contractors and the failure to pay for all hours worked, including pre-shoot requirements like testing and preparation.

Why does this matter?

For years, companies have argued that performers are all “different” — different schedules, different work, different choices — and therefore can’t be treated as a group when it comes to labor rights.
The court rejected that.

It found that common questions exist across the entire workforce, including:
• Whether performers are misclassified as independent contractors

• Whether required pre-shoot work should be paid


• Whether pay practices violate California labor law
And importantly, it recognized that these issues stem from standardized contracts and company-wide policies

— not isolated situations.

Let’s be clear:
this ruling does NOT yet decide that performers are employees.

But it does something powerful:
-It confirms that performers’ rights can be fought collectively.

-It undermines the idea that the industry is too fragmented for accountability.

-It strengthens the case that control, direction, and uniform practices matter more than labels.

For APAG and performers across the industry, this is momentum.
It supports what we’ve been saying:

When companies control your work, your schedule, your appearance, and your conditions — you are not operating independently.

This is why we organize.


This is why we push for recognition.


This is why worker voices matter.

The fight for proper classification, fair pay, and real labor protections is far from over — but this ruling moves the conversation forward in a meaningful way.
We’ll be watching this case closely.
And we’ll keep pushing.

Main stream actors and actresses, along with the Writers Guild are striking because they’re tired of low pay from streaming services and lack of Royalty’s. Every porn actor deals with this nonstop. What about us?

[Alana Evans XBIZ BEST MILF CAM Winner!! @alanaevansxxx]

Oh, you mean like they do to us in Porn? Lol all of a sudden it’s a problem for Mainstream, but this has never been a problem for the countless Porn workers who are taken advantage of every day? They never care until it’s them.

In 2022, APAG board members made the decision to pull away from YNOT because of concerns. We maintained communication with others regarding these concerns and remained transparent about why we stayed away.

As APAG President, I want to commend members of our community, both performers and companies, for making the choice to support creators who have spoken out. APAG is happy to continue to offer support, guidance, and legal help to those who have been affected by the actions of those affiliated with YNOT. It is never acceptable behavior to treat members of our community inappropriately, or by putting them in harms way.

I hope moving forward, our community will continue to create safe spaces where our creators are treated with respect. - APAG President Alana Evans
