FED: Qantas will not bow to pressure to limit bag weights

Qantas says it won't bow to pressure from baggage handlers to lower the maximum weight
of bags from 32kg to 20kg.

Baggage handlers have been waiting to hear from management .. before deciding whether
to take industrial action to implement a union ban on the weight limit.

That's after workers voted yesterday to impose the bans on all flights.

But Qantas says it complies with all industry standards of baggage handling .. and
won't reduce bag allowances.
