A BIT ABOUT US

Dealing with the labor challenges of today requires solidarity, foresight, and the will to fight for what is right. TCU Lodge 794 emerged out of the need for REAL worker representation in Memphis, TN and the desire for collective actions to speak louder than individual words. Established in 2019, we’re an union driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support.

​

Individually we are people from many different backgrounds, doing many different jobs. We are clerks, carmen, auto technicians, computer programmers, skycaps and redcaps, on-board service workers, secretaries, supervisors, government workers, truck drivers, accountants, yardmasters, intermodal workers, police officers, reservations agents, transit workers and more.

​

Together we form a diverse alliance. However different we are as individuals, we share some hopes in common. We want what most people want from life — A good job with good pay and benefits. Respect. Dignity. Peace. Prosperity.  That’s what TCU is all about. Working together through the Union we know we can achieve our common objectives more effectively.  TCU members set the pace and direction of all the Union’s activities. And the Union’s strength will always be in direct proportion to the degree of participation by its members.
