Um, we kinda like lights and power

Tennessee Representative Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) announced in a press release that he sent a letter to President Joe Biden regarding his executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccines for federal workers and the effects it will have on Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) employees. 

In early September, Biden announced a new executive order that requires vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test out. The executive order also called on the Department of Labor to require all employers with over 100 workers to have them vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19.

DesJarlais’ press release reveals that some TVA employees are expressing their intent to resign or retire over Biden’s executive order mandating all federal employees be vaccinated.
