Many electric cooperatives observed National Lineman Appreciation Day back on April 8, pursuant to a 2014 directive from the NRECA Board of Directors that sets aside the second Monday in April for the observance. But, today, many other utilities will recognize National Lineman Appreciation Day, due to legislation that cleared the U.S. Senate in 2013.
