A brand new roadway, new downtown parking, and a fresh look for one of Union City’s main corridors.

Congratulations, Tyler!

Please help us congratulate Union City Electric Department Lineman Tyler Diamond on his recent graduation from the Wolverine Power Cooperative Joint Michigan Apprenticeship Program!

Becoming a Journeyman Lineman is no small accomplishment. The apprenticeship is a four year program combining extensive classroom education with thousands of hours of hands-on training in the field.

And Tyler certainly had an eventful final year.

While completing his schooling, Tyler and our line crew responded to numerous extreme weather events here in Union City that required an enormous amount of line work and long hours restoring power to our community.

Most recently, Tyler and members of our crew also traveled to Sturgis to assist that community with recovery following a significant storm.

Tyler is a Union City High School graduate and lifelong area resident, which makes us especially proud to see him complete his apprenticeship and continue serving the community he grew up in.

Tyler now joins an already outstanding group of Linemen in our Village of Union City Electric Department.

Congratulations, Tyler! We’re proud of you and lucky to have you on our team!
