Across the country today from Whangārei to Invercargill, thousands of people are expected to take part in a Day of Action for Pay Equity.
There are a raft of events on, including a march in Tāmaki Makaurau, community gatherings in Whanganui and even a BBQ in Ōtepoti Dunedin.
In May, laws were passed under urgency which cancelled 33 pay equity claims and made it harder for new claims to succeed.
