Tennessee Valley Authority Under Pressure to Privatize
Aug 01, 2025
The attack on our members at the Tennessee Valley Authority has begun. After targeting federal workers inside the Beltway, the federal government has now set its sights on the hard-working men and women who keep the lights on across the Southeast. This time, it’s personal. The IBEW represents approximately 10,000 employees at TVA—power professionals who generate, transmit, and distribute energy to over 10 million Americans. In the Fourth District, hundreds of those workers are proud members of Local 816 in Paducah, Kentucky.
