For the third part of our

Line Life Podcast

series on Lineman Hall of Famers, we are featuring an interview with Bill Bosch, vice president of apprenticeship and client solutions for

Northwest Lineman College (NLC)

. He has worked in a variety of different operations, safety, training and management roles over his more than 45 years in the line trade.

He also founded the

National Association of Journeymen Linemen

to promote the brotherhood, sacrifice and dedication of the line trade. To further honor lineworkers, Bill introduced legislation in 2012 to establish

National Lineman Appreciation Day,

which is now celebrated annually on April 18. He is also working to get lineworkers officially recognized as first responders with the

Linemen Legacy Act.

This bill is now in the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. To push this legislation forward, Bill encourages all lineworkers to contact their local members of Congress to support H.R. 7610, the Linemen Legacy Act.
