The miners were allegedly persuaded to take up jobs in Australia but were not in fact available on the terms and conditions that had been sold to the miners.
Sydney law firm Levitt Robinson Solicitors currently represents just 28 miners who were hired by recruitment company CoreStaff between 2011 and 2012.
The miners allege that CoreStaff breached their employment contracts, being overworked, underpaid and let go within months of their arrival in Australia.
