"Name and shame": Qantas baggage handler stood down over damning footage
A Qantas baggage handler has been fired after he was filmed throwing luggage with such force that they fell on the floor.
Footage shared to social media shows the disgruntled worker picking up the bags and transferring them angrily onto a trailer at Karratha Airport in West Australia’s Pilbara region.
There were moments when the man would throw the bags and they would fall to the ground where he leaves them.
Viewers were left fuming wondering if passengers would’ve had their property or items in the bag destroyed over the worker’s negligence.
“I hope this was sent to city of Karratha and reported to bad if someone had something important in their bags and it got damaged,” someone wrote.
“Name and shame,” another commented.
“He wouldn't have a job if he worked for Virgin,” another comment read.
Qantas confirmed that the worker has been stood down as an investigation is underway into his behaviour.
“We are disappointed with the behaviour in this video and we’ve raised it with our ground handling contractor for urgent action,” they said.
