Fired Up Stilettos is a group of 19 strip dancers who were told by way of a Facebook post that their services were no longer required at the Wellington club known as Calendar Girls.
The women had been lobbying for better pay and conditions .
They responded to the firings by picketing outside their workplace and on Thursday lobbying parliament over their rights as independent contractors.
One of the Stilettos, a dancer named Molly, spoke to Māni Dunlop.
