Melbourne Airport worker's baggage tossing sparks debate
A video from Melbourne Airport is causing debate among travelers. The footage shows a baggage handler treating luggage in a way some consider disrespectful. In the video, the worker lifts suitcases from a cart and tosses them onto a conveyor belt. At one point, a suitcase slips from his hand and falls to the ground. Many travelers reacted negatively on social media, calling for more care in handling other people's belongings. Some argued it would take less effort to place the bags gently instead of throwing them. On the other hand, some people defended the worker. They mentioned the heavy nature of the bags, weighing over 25 kg, and suggested that lifting them repeatedly can be challenging. Supporters said it isn't fair to judge the worker without considering how demanding the job can be. The video sparked mixed feelings, highlighting different views on worker conduct in the airport industry. Daily Mail Australia has sought comments from Swissport, the company that employs the baggage handler, and from Melbourne Airport.
