They claim they didn't get a fair hearing fgs. They're going to the appeal court because they claim the women workers are really 'volunteers.'
As if they have any choice in the matter - having been brainwashed from birth, they're extremely unlikely to be able to refuse to take part in working.

"The leaders have gone to the Appeal Court to ask for leave to appeal the Employment Court’s decision to recognise former Gloriavale women as employees and not as volunteers.
The decision meant the women had rights under employment law, including minimum working conditions and pay.
The leaders did not appeal a similar finding in an earlier case brought by three former Gloriavale men who were found to be employees when they worked in the community’s commercial businesses from the age of 6.
The leaders’ application claims the Employment Court misdirected itself on the meaning of employee.
It also claims the court conducted the trial in a manner that breached natural justice, with the judge “failing to recuse herself, in circumstances that gave rise to a risk of apparent bias” and admitting evidence that was prejudicial and irrelevant.
It said the Court of Appeal should grant leave to appeal because the judgment was likely to affect the rights and interests of many other community members who lived and worked in similar circumstances, including other communal and religious groups.
The women’s lawyer, Brian Henry, said the leaders had a right to seek leave to appeal.
“They didn’t appeal the boys’ case. This time they have decided to appeal the girls’ case.
“We will work through the process and I will be seeking an early hearing because it has huge ramifications for a lot of people, particularly the young girls inside Gloriavale,” he said."
