Expressing support for the designation of July 10th as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day.
This House Resolution expresses Congress’s support for designating July 10 as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day. It highlights the essential, dangerous work performed by journeyman lineworkers—who build, maintain, and repair electrical power lines in challenging conditions, often at great heights and near energized equipment—and notes their critical role in restoring power after disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and pandemics. The resolution also references the historical sacrifice of Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died on July 10, 1896 while troubleshooting an outage. As a resolution, it is a symbolic, non-binding expression of support and encouragement for the public to observe the day with reflection; it does not create new duties, funding, or regulatory requirements.
