Qatar Airways faces an effective grounding of its planes in Sydney as workers consider striking over the treatment this month of some female Australian passengers in Doha.
The union representing Sydney airport workers is considering refusing to service, clean or refuel Qatar Airways jets. Members “are angry at the brutal attack on the human rights” of the women, the Transport Workers’ Union in the Australian state of New South Wales said in a statement Tuesday.
