Hundreds of Qantas airport employees began a 24-hour strike across Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth airports as part of an escalating dispute over wages and working conditions. The Transport Workers’ Union said employees are seeking higher pay, greater job security, and improved workplace safety standards. The industrial action includes workers from Qantas Ground Services, Australian air Express freight operations, and regional carrier QantasLink. The walkout demonstrates organized labor’s efforts to secure both compensation increases and stronger employment protections across the airline’s ground operations. Reuters
