'They said they had all the resources they needed.' NES accused of refusing union help
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Nashville Electric Service is facing criticism after multiple union members and contractors report the utility refused help from available linemen, as more than 100,000 outages remain in freezing temperatures throughout the Nashville area.
Two members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who asked to remain unnamed, say NES declined offers of assistance from multiple union crews, potentially opting for less expensive contractors instead.
“I’ve had a lot of people reach out trying to come to Nashville to help restore power,” the union member said. “They keep getting the same answer- that NES is full and doesn’t need help… I just don’t think they want to pay the union rates.”

Family with young children sleep in car during Tennessee’s winter storm power outage
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – When Dylan McCann pulled into his Nashville apartment complex after spending a week away from home, he expected to see snow, but not what he found inside.
“We opened the door – straight water,” McCann said. “Flood everywhere. Both bathrooms totally destroyed. My apartment ain’t the only one. The one next to us is filled with water, too.”
He said the pipes had burst pipes and raw sewage was present in dark rooms that were frozen solid.
McCann said he, his wife, and their seven children under the age of five lost everything – power, food, even clean clothes.
