Workers have walked off the job at Australia's five major airports, causing lengthy delays and flight disruptions.

The Transport Workers' Union (TWU) is being the protest, and is calling on the federal government to make 'airports and airlines responsible for labour standards'.

'Split shifts and poverty wages have to go!': TWU Australia advertised their protests on their Twitter, which has over five thousand followers
'Airport workers have seen their jobs downgraded in recent years with a majority on forced part-time hours,' the TWU said.
They also believe that current standards and conditions are affecting aviation safety and security.
'The low rates, split shifts and poor conditions have led to workers forced to sleep at airports,' the TWU said.
The workers claimed split shifts have an impact on safety and eat into sleep and time with family.
'Behind the shiny facades and the slick airline lounges, what we've got are airport workers under pressure' TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine told reporters as he attended the rally
Ramp worker Bob Pocovski said it shouldn't be such a battle for workers just trying to do their job.
'We just want the same pay for the same job,' he said.
National Secretary for TWU Michael Kaine who also attended the protest told reporters the airport employees were suffering under poor working conditions.
'Behind the shiny facades and the slick airline lounges, what we've got are airport workers under pressure,' he said.
The TWU said they will release their submission to the Productivity Commission's inquiry into economic regulation of airports during the protest.
Travellers flying on Tuesday have been urged to plan ahead to avoid any further delays leading them to miss their flights.
With workers, ranging from check-in staff to security, all leaving their jobs unattended, lengthy delays and disruptions are said to ensue

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
