QANTAS has been hit with new safety fears after staff allege bags were not adequately checked before flights.



The International Transport Workers Union (ITWU) has initiated separate legal action in the Federal Court alleging that checked baggage was not adequately screened and cleared before it was put on Jetstar aircraft on five occasion, The Australian reports.



The ITWU is threatening to impose bans on the loading and unloading of bags on Jetstar flights throughout the Oceania region unless the Qantas subsidiary addresses concerns over the alleged security lapses at Sydney airport.

Another union attack on the QANTAS Group and no news runs with it!

Is it possible for news articles to report articles rather than instantly attacking news media for reporting it.

It seems to have almost become mandatory! I'm sure it is warranted on occasion but not nearly as often as it happens.
