I don’t know about any of you folks, but around the dinner table last night, we hoisted a glass to Chesley B. Sullenberger III, the captain of US Airways flight 1549. Wow!!
What the mainstream media are not reporting is that virtually everyone involved in the rescue is a union member. And that they used the safety training that unions have been fighting for and management has been fighting against.
The pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, is a former national committee member and the former safety chairman for the Airline Pilots Association. The flight attendants, members of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA.
The air traffic controllers, members of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
The ferry crews, members of the Seafarers International Union.
The fire and police workers – unionized.
The one thing that all these unions have in common is that they have been fighting for safety training that management has been trying to cut back.
If management had its way, this safety training would not have taken place and these passengers would probably all be dead.
The passengers owe their lives to trade unions. And that is a politically incorrect fact that the corporate-owned mainstream media is ignoring.
Thank you for that! In fact, I’m going to copy your comment and post it tomorrow.
