At OVSS—the Ohio Valley & Southern States Region of LIUNA—we champion fairness, empower members with free training, and build strong communities.
TVA was built to serve the public. Its first mission was to provide affordable energy to rural families and farmers. timesfreepress.com/news/2025/jul/…
"Privatizing TVA would likely raise costs, disrupt service, and reduce the long-term benefits this region depends on." - Stephen E. Farner, LIUNA VP and Regional Manager timesfreepress.com/news/2025/jul/…
In the Chattanooga Free Times Press, OVSS Regional Manager Stephen Farner argues that TVA works — powering our communities, creating jobs, and keeping rates low. Privatization would only hurt the Valley. timesfreepress.com/news/2025/jul/…
