RESOLUTION 

Expressing support for the designation of Journeyman 

Lineworkers Recognition Day. 

Whereas journeyman lineworkers provide a vital service on a 

daily basis; 

Whereas journeyman lineworkers put their lives on the line 

every day to assure safe and reliable power for the American people; 

Whereas journeyman lineworkers work at heights and in close 

proximity to energized electric lines; 

Whereas journeyman lineworkers continue to provide valuable 

and heroic services during major national and regional 

disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and 

pandemics, along with working extremely long hours 

under dangerous conditions to restore power; 

Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the 

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was 

killed on July 10, 1896, at just 38 years old; 

Whereas Henry Miller died of injuries sustained while troubleshooting an electrical outage; and 

Whereas there should be a day to honor those industry first 

responders who have given their lives in the line of duty 

along with those who provide skillful service in times of 

local or national crisis: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
