Lineworker Appreciation
If you have noticed Benton REA’s line crews working on power lines and other electrical equipment, it’s no secret a lineworker’s job is tough—but it’s a job that’s essential. This month we celebrate lineworkers. The next time you see a lineworker, please thank them for the work they do to keep power flowing, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
Please join Benton REA as we recognize lineworkers all month, and follow #ThankALineworker on social media to see how others are recognizing lineworkers.
April 11 : Lineworker Appreciation Day, Designated by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association
April 18: National Lineman Appreciation Day
We Appreciate You
