Friday, June 13th was the annual “Climb for Lost Linemen” in Clearfield, PA, which honors linemen and operators who’ve lost their lives on the job. IBEW members from across to country came together to hang 34 lanterns, each one inscribed with the name of a lineman who lost his life at work in the last year.
The commemorative event was sponsored by the National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen (NSUJL) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to families of fallen or injured IBEW Journeymen Linemen, Apprentices, Groundmen and Operators.
