On June 22, 2018 in Clearfield, PA electric lanterns were hung for lost brothers and sisters in the lineworker trade at the 7th Annual Climbing for Lost Lineman benefit. During the event, NSUJL raised money for the families of fallen or injured IBEW journeymen, utility and apprentice linemen; groundmen; operators; LCTT and/or their spouses and minor children through sponsorship support and entry fees . On Friday, We honored those who have fallen or have been injured on the job from June 2017 to June 2018. Each fallen lineman’s name was printed on lanterns and fellow line brothers signed up to climb a pole in recognition of the individuals. The feeling of support and solidarity throughout the fairgrounds is breathtaking. It is an opportunity for families of the fallen to come together as a community and support one another. NSUJL will continue to honor the fallen in the line community for years to come. June 23, 2018 marked the 6th Annual NSUJL Lineworkers Rodeo in Clearfield, PA! 19 journeymen linemen teams and 54 apprentices donated entry fees to participate in the rodeo.
