ComEd Salutes Utility Workers on National Lineman Appreciation Day

Each Exelon utility – BGE, ComEd and PECO honor efforts of company workers

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- March 31 marks National Lineman Appreciation Day, established in 2013, to honor the men and women that work day-in and day-out to provide safe and reliable service to customers. Today, ComEd salutes its more than 1,600 men and women who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, often in challenging conditions, and on weekends and holidays, to serve our customers.

To honor the nation’s line workers, a resolution was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives designating March 31, 2015, as National Lineman Appreciation Day.

“Our line workers are our first responders and work around the clock on high-voltage power lines atop wood poles and towering transmission structures, in underground vaults beneath the city streets and complex electrical substations in every community and in the tallest skyscrapers to power the lives of our 3.8 million customers,” said Terry Donnelly, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We thank our dedicated and skilled employees for their hard work and congratulate them for achieving our best safety performance on record last year.”

ComEd encourages customers to honor line workers across the region by using the hashtag #thankalineman on social media. Connect with ComEd on Facebook and Twitter and view photos of ComEd line workers at flickr.com/commonwealthedison.
