Qantas ground workers to strike over pay and conditions next week
The Transport Workers Union said workers will strike for 24 hours on Wednesday in Victoria state and on Thursday in the rest of the country.
Qantas has announced that hundreds of ground workers handling freight and regional flights will go on strike next week due to pay and working conditions. The Transport Workers Union announced the 24-hour strike will take place on Wednesday in Victoria and Thursday nationwide. Workers will not call this action lightly, as any disruption to freight is solely the responsibility of Qantas management and their disregard for customers and staff.
Qantas did not immediately provide a comment to a request for comment. In 2022, a court ordered the airline to pay a record fine of A$90 million over outsourcing the jobs of over 1,800 ground workers in Australia during the Covid-19 pandemic, an action later deemed illegal.
