Description: Mrs. Jo Matthew, a 26-year-old Detroit Playboy Club Bunny who was turned out to pasture three years ago because she allegedly had "lost the Bunny image," has won back her job and more than $15,000 in back pay. A Roseville, Mich., labor arbitrator ruled 10/20 that Bunny Jo (who posed for photographers on a bearskin rug with a union strike sign as a background during the news conference) was fired because she was a gung-ho shop steward for her union, Local 705 of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees.
