Catering trucks, women at drafting tables, women in power plants, black workers

NARRATOR: TVA employees enjoyed the most progressive working conditions in the nation. They labored only five hours a day. That way, more shifts were possible and everyone could get a job. There was work for women. Good work--at drafting tables and in power plants. There was also an early form of affirmative action. Blacks were employed in proportion to their population in the valley. They earned the same wages as whites, although they lived--and sometimes worked-- in segregation.
