bleed the slave clutch, refill with fluid you will need help with this, some one to pump the clutch while one bleeds the line on the slave clutch. If don't work.. replace the slave clutch completely, it is problably by passing from worn seal/boots.

Did they replace the throwout bearing when they did the clutch?

Those have a hydraulic clutch and they are very hard to bleed, sounds like what is wrong to me.

Open the hood and check the clutch fluid reservoir and see if its empty also.

Sounds like you didn't get all the air out of the slave cylinder when you bled it. Bleed it again.
