One in 10 bags are not making it onto Qantas flights at Sydney airport: report

According to a baggage handler who spoke with The Guardian Australia on the condition of anonymity, one in 10 bags isn't going to Qantas.

Qantas outsourcing its baggage handler jobs to Swissport was reported by the news organization. Swissport has its own labor issues. The company hired two different hiring firms to find workers for its Qantas shifts, according to The Guardian Australia.

Summer travel demand is straining the aviation industry. There were over a thousand vacancies in security and ground-handler positions at the airport.

Employees quitting frequently is reported by the Guardian Australia. Baggage handlers will get a $50 per day bonus if they show up for their shifts for the rest of the year.

Due to the surge in domestic travel, baggage handlers are not able to handle the increase in luggage.

The worker said that if you can avoid it, don't fly Qantas at all.

Qantas has a shortage of baggage handler jobs due to the outsourcing of 1,700 jobs. The decision was partially motivated by anti- union sentiment.
