The final stage of a bill to increase the threshold of pay equity claims is expected to pass in Parliament.
It'll extinguish 33 active claims, requiring them to re-start under the new model - with the changes expected to impact hundreds of thousands of workers.
This bill has been met with outrage from unions and the Opposition - describing it as a 'dark day for women'.
Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls weighed in on the bill's progress.
