Bill > SCR55

This concurrent resolution recognizes April 18, 2025, as "National Line Worker Appreciation Day" in Delaware, highlighting the critical role of line workers in maintaining electrical and communication infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes the challenging and dangerous nature of the profession, noting that there are over 120,000 line workers nationwide, including approximately 390 in Delaware, who undergo four years of rigorous training to become journeyman line workers. It acknowledges their essential contributions during emergencies, such as restoring power after hurricanes like Sandy and Ian, and their daily work maintaining millions of transmission towers, utility poles, and power lines. The resolution also celebrates the profession's history, including the first lineman Ezra Cornell and the first female linewoman Rosa Vasquez, while recognizing the inherent risks line workers face while ensuring consistent electricity delivery to communities across the nation.
