Luggage was left in rooms for weeks after an airline sacked thousands of workers, whistleblower says

A former Qantas worker has revealed how passengers' bags were left in rooms for weeks after the Australian airline fired thousands of staff in the pandemic.

The whistleblower, who remained anonymous, told the Nine network's Today show that he was one of the employees laid off following the outbreak of COVID-19.

Qantas let 2,000 workers go during the pandemic, according to the Transport Workers Union. The sackings have since triggered travel mayhem, the former baggage handler told the breakfast TV programme.

"You've got a skilled workforce that has just been totally sacked," he said in the interview.

Sorry your toothbrush and comb were held hostage. Your fault for extremely irresponsible behavior.
