Since that time, we have expanded to cover issues ranging from the increase in temp jobs and inadequate wages to free trade and globalization. Click here to learn more about our history. TIRN members decide what TIRN works on and how the work happens, and our members are the key to our goal of creating an economy that works for people and their communities. Our organizational members include include a broad spectrum of community groups, labor unions, and religious groups. Our individual members are factory workers, teachers, lawyers, students, artists, carpenters, unemployed, part-time and temp workers, preachers, parents and children, farmers and truckers, and so on.
Most members participate through local clusters or statewide issue committees.
Clusters work on issues that affect their lives in the places they live and work, and we have clusters in Knoxville, Nashville, and Upper-East Tennessee. The statewide issue committees work on issues that affect all of Tennessee. The Knoxville and Nashville clusters are currently engaged in Living Wage Campaigns . TIRN is committed to racial, age, and gender diversity in all its work. You must have Adobe Reader to view a PDF file.
