The incomparable Marcy Wheeler makes a compelling point in a post today about yesterday’s “miracle” rescue of the US Airways plane that had to make an emergency landing in the cold waters of the Hudson River: from the pilot to the flight attendants to the air traffic controllers to certain members of the rescue crews, union workers shined from start to finish.
Nicely-played, organized labor. And nicely-said, Marcy.
