The hearing was due to be held this afternoon but had to be postponed.
The claim covers issues like a fair pay increase as they say they’re employed on the minimum wage, improvements in annual leave entitlements, and eliminating zero-hour contracts.
Gerry Light, Assistant General Secretary with Mandate told KCLR News the lack of any sick pay scheme is also a major sticking point.
