Key Points
- This resolution proposes making July 10 a special day to recognize journeyman lineworkers. These workers are responsible for keeping the electrical grid running and fixing power lines after storms.
- The date was chosen to honor Henry Miller, the first leader of the electrical workers union. He died on July 10, 1896, from injuries he got while working to fix a power outage.
- The proposal highlights the dangerous nature of the job. Lineworkers often work high off the ground and near high voltage wires to ensure Americans have reliable electricity.
- This action is a way for the government to say thank you to these workers. It does not change any laws or require any federal spending.
