The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) highlighted the significant roles these line workers, alongside other utility personnel, play in maintaining vital infrastructure. Their collective efforts as electricians, technicians, engineers, and support staff contribute to the reliability and safety of utility services.
PUC Chairman Stephen M. DeFrank expressed his gratitude towards all utility workers for their service to the community, emphasizing their critical role during crises. The dedication of these workers ensures that essential services remain uninterrupted, keeping lights on and connections secure across homes and businesses.
National Line Worker Appreciation Day not only honors the commitment and sacrifices of these utility workers but also encourages the public to recognize and appreciate their continuous hard work. As Chairman DeFrank suggests, it’s a perfect occasion to #ThankALineWorker and acknowledge their contribution to our everyday life.
