More delays for Qantas passengers
More than 10,000 Qantas passengers are expected to be hit by further flight disruption after talks collapse.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents baggage handlers, catering workers and ground staff, are to hold meetings at airports around Australia on Friday.
This follows negotiations between the airline and workers breaking down, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
TWU warned that further industrial action was likely to follow after previously calling off nationwide industrial action scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
The one-hour meetings planned for tomorrow are expected to cause 66 flights to be delayed by up to 70 minutes and will affect 10,100 passengers, Qantas says.
This comes as the airline was forced to ground another Boeing 767 due to concerns about the reliability of the fleet.
Four Boeing 767s and three Boeing 737s are now out of service, with the first grounding occurring two weeks ago.
