The National Union of Workers (NUW) is advocating on behalf of the casual employees and has asked Australasian Global Dairies Pty Ltd (AGD), the company employing the workers, to start paying them in line with the award with back pay.
Some of the workers are in Australia on working holiday visas.
AGD have previously denied any wrong doing. The company did not respond to The Standard’s request for comment.
The hearing was held on November 13, and another is scheduled for December 4.
NUW Organiser Cameron Stops said the union was hopeful it would have an offer to put to members by the next hearing, and he said the company agreed to take further information from the union to establish an agreed settlement.
