Talks fail to avert Australian airport stop work

Talks between Qantas and the Transport Workers Union in Australia have failed to avert further industrial action at Australian airports this Friday.

Baggage handlers, caterers and ramp workers will walk off the job for an hour to decide whether to go on strike for 24 hours or more next week.

The TWU national president Tony Sheldon says if Qantas fails to implement their demands, a strike seems inevitable.
