           SUBJECT  :    Journeyman Linemen Recognition Day

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution designates July 10, 2014, as  
          Journeyman Lineman Recognition Day to honor and recognize the  
          contribution of the countless journeyman linemen who often place  
          themselves in harm's way to serve their communities.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1. Journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every day to  
             ensure safe and reliable power for Californians by working at  
             heights and in close proximity to energized electric lines  
             and, in emergencies, often work extremely long hours under  
             sometimes dangerous conditions to restore power.

          2. Henry Miller, the first elected president of the  
             International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was killed  
             on July 10, 1896, at just 38 years old due to injuries  
             sustained while troubleshooting an electrical outage.

                                                                CONTINUED

                                                                     Page

          3. Journeyman Lineman Recognition Day is hereby created 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, state, or national crisis.

          This resolution designates July 10, 2014, as Journeyman Lineman  
          Recognition Day to honor and recognize the contribution of the  
          countless journeyman linemen who often place themselves in  
          harm's way to serve their communities.
