Since the 1930s, TVA has turned natural resources into real opportunities.
Privatizing the TVA would be a step backwards.
It would hurt the communities that rely on it for power and good union jobs that support families.

#ICYMI
Last month, Laborers' Local 110 Volunteer Organizing Committee built a wheelchair ramp for their fellow member.
This is union solidarity.
We take care of each other.

From coast to coast laborers are out in the streets putting in the work. They're talking to non-union workers, spreading the word, and building power.
Laborers Rising isn't just a slogan, it's a movement.

Power doesn't come from the top.
Power comes from all of us.
When laborers stand together, there's nothing we can't do.

From highways to streets, it's laborers making it happen.
We build it, we fix it, and we keep it running.

No suit, no tie, no corner office.
Just hard work, heavy equipment, and a union paycheck that supports a family.

Why fix what isn't broken?
TVA delivers reliable power, good union jobs, and thriving communities.

The latest #InTheKnow shows why TVA matters to everyone: youtu.be/TuLLaox4hHU?...

The numbers don't lie.
According to BLS, in 2024, non-union workers made 85% of union pay.
That 15% gap?
That's a contract, benefits, and a voice on the job.
