UNIONS: THE FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU THE US AIRWAYS "MIRACLE" LANDING
AND RESCUE



They're calling it a miracle--the successful landing of a US Airways

Jet in the Hudson and subsequent rescue of all 155 passengers. They're detailing the heroism of all involved, starting with the pilot and including cabin crew, ferry crews, and first responders.



What they're not telling you is that just about every single one of these heroes is a Union member.



The pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, is a former national committee

member and the former safety chairman for the Airline Pilots Association and now represented by US Airline Pilots Association. He--and his union—have fought to ensure pilots get the kind of safety training to pull off what he did yesterday.



Then there are the flight attendants: They are members of the

Association of Flight Attendants-CWA.



There are the air traffic controllers: They're represented by the

National Air Traffic Controllers Association.



There are the ferry crews: They're represented by the Seafarers

International Union. They provide safety training

to their members so they're prepared for events like this accident.



There are the cops and firemen: They're represented by the

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and the Uniformed Firefighters Association and Uniformed Fire Officers Association.
