| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | March 18th as National Natural Gas Utility Workers' Day in Pennsylvania. |
In the near future, I will introduce a resolution to recognize March 18th as National Natural Gas Utility Workers' Day in Pennsylvania. Natural gas workers construct, operate, and maintain a network of natural gas infrastructure assets that provide communities across the state with warm homes, businesses, and cleaner electricity; and, It is important for Pennsylvania to honor and recognize these workers for their contributions to the lives of Pennsylvanians and the success of our state's economy; and, At a moment's notice, these brave crews work in all weather systems and face dangerous conditions in order to maintain the energy infrastructure of our state. The provision of natural gas is an essential service, and these crews worked tirelessly on the front line during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring our communities had the safe and reliable energy they relied on. Working in and around roadways is often required by employees who provide gas service, which presents a daily danger. Safety is a vital aspect to natural gas transmission and distribution, and the employees of such companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible. Please join me in recognizing March 18th as a national day of recognition known as the National Natural Gas Utility Workers' Day as a way of building awareness about the hard work done by employees of natural gas utilities. |
