Lineman Appreciation Day, which was founded to recognize the men and women who keep our country running and memorialize those who have been injured or killed doing their job, is being celebrated today.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the Utility Workers of America and the Edison Electrical Institute – which represents investor-owned utilities – released a joint statement about the value of the workers who construct and maintain the vast energy infrastructure that brings power to their homes and businesses.
