IBEW Local 47’s Post

July 10, the anniversary of the death of the IBEW's first President, Henry Miller, was first designated Lineman Appreciation Day by the state of California largely as a result of the efforts of Diamond Bar, Calif., Local 47 and Vacaville, Calif., Local 1245. "We wanted a day with more meaning," said Local 47 Business Manager Pat Lavin, who is also a member of the International Executive Council. During emergencies or not, when the lights go out they go to work and we couldn't be more grateful for what they do. If you've ever wanted to thank the lineworkers who restored your power, today's a good day to do so. July 10 is a small but important way to recognize them. To participate in honoring lineworkers and their families, post your message using the hashtag #ThankALineworker #thankalineman on social media. . . . . #47 #ibew #unionproud #loca|47 #jl #lineman #ibewlocal47 #journeymanlineman #linemanappreciationday #brotherhood

Nature is not a place to visit, it is our home. Earth Day is a reminder to promote clean energy, advocate for less plastics, and planting more trees to increase habitats for species and combat climate change. #happyearthday 🌎 . . . . #ibew47 #unionproud #union #ibewlocal47 #local47 #47 #earth #day
