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.
