Passional Boutique and Sexploratorium owner Kali Morgan told workers that her potential buyer has “made it clear that they work with their own family members in the store.”
Passional Boutique & Sexploratorium on South Street in Philadelphia on Jan. 24, 2024, is up for sale and has laid off its staff.
Passional Boutique & Sexploratorium, a decades-old, multilevel South Street sex shop known for its queer and trans inclusivity, has laid off its roughly dozen staffers ahead of a proposed sale.
The layoffs come one month after the store’s part-time sales associates — eight in total — announced their intent to form a union, seeking job protection in the event of a sale.

The workers, who hoped to organize an independent union called the South Street Workers Union, believe they got laid off because they attempted to unionize. It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against workers who want to form a union, but workers don’t have many options when their rights are violated, especially if the business shuts down.
Last Thursday, workers were told not to come in and that the store was closed “due to unexpected circumstances.” Several hours later, Passional owner Kali Morgan sent workers an email saying they were being laid off.
In a later message to them titled “My resignation,” Morgan referenced the layoffs and said she had “potential buyers who have made it clear that they work with their own family members in the store.”
The proposed deal “will eliminate the bulk of my debt,” Morgan said, adding that she was under a “strict no disclosure agreement.”
If the sale did not go through, Morgan said she planned to continue to run the store until March.
“I hope that you will understand and respect that this is the best path forward for me,” she wrote.

Morgan, 55, had made it clear, over the past few years, that she was trying to sell the business, according to interviews with five former Passional workers. She’d often speak of a potential buyer only to later share that the deal had fallen through.
Floor staffers, who made $16 an hour, hoped that forming a union could help them secure job protection or at least severance.
They also wanted to challenge a noncompete agreement Morgan required them to sign that forbid them from working at any “fetish fashion, corset or erotica boutique, erotic art gallery, for-profit workshop promoter, or home party service … or with an online business that serves similar products and services” in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware while they were at Passional and for two years after they left.

During the December meeting when workers asked Morgan to voluntarily recognize their union, Morgan said she needed time to understand the legal repercussions of doing so and would return to the topic the following month. They never did.
