Seriously. So many people rely on them. I hope they are compensated well. Thank you.

Dude, lineman make so much money. And when I worked for an electric company, they got paid triple pay to get called in. Even if it was a 20 minute job they got paid a minimum of 3 hours just to come in for it. And that's not even factoring in any OT on their already fair union wage. Lineman are absolutely banking right now. Also, good for them.

They deserve every penny of it and then some. Spent lots of years in the IBEW on the ground running a track hoe but those linemen are just crazy.
