CA ACR150

Designates July 10, 2014, as Journeyman Linemen Recognition Day in California to honor journeyman linemen who serve their communities.

Recognizes journeyman linemen as vital service providers who work at dangerous heights near energized electrical lines and often work extended hours during emergencies to restore power.

Commemorates July 10 to honor Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died on that date in 1896 from injuries sustained while troubleshooting an electrical outage.

Acknowledges journeyman linemen as industry first responders who have sacrificed their lives in service and provide critical assistance during local, state, or national crises.

Encourages Californians to observe the day with appropriate reflection and recognition of journeyman linemen's contributions.
