Aviapartner is one of two luggage handlers at the airport. The workers refused to load and unload planes preventing flights from taking off. Aviapartner is used by carriers including Jetair, Etihad, SAS and Qatar Airways. The baggage handlers were unhappy with working conditions following the March attacks. They speak of poor organisation with regard to temporary unemployment and a lack of respect for the workforce. Workers also complained about staff shortages and the failure to make certain payments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fderedactie.be\u002Fcm\u002Fvrtnieuws.english\u002FNews\u002F1.2653304\">http:\u002F\u002Fderedactie.be\u002Fcm\u002Fvrtnieuws.english\u002FNews … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
