UFCW Local 1994

UFCW Local 1994 Strong Public Services Build Strong Communities! http://www.mcgeo.org Moviegoers lined up to see Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. George W. Richard Nixon died.

In South Africa, black voters waited hours in line for the opportunity to cast ballots for the first time. They elected Nelson Mandela as their president. Bush became governor of Texas. Parris Glendening was elected Marylandโ€™s governor. Doug Duncan replaced Neal Potter as Montgomery County Executive. Wayne Curry was elected County Executive in Prince Georges. UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO opened its doors

with a small staff and a bundle of legal bills.
โ€œIn those first days, it was just Bob Stewart and me, part-time employee Dave Blackwell and a temporary receptionist, the phones constantly ringing and battles raging all around us,โ€ recalls Gino Renne who has served as the Localโ€™s leader since its inception. Over the next two decades, Local 1994 would grow into an organization with a reputation as an aggressive fighter for the rights of government workers. Today, Local 1994 is staffed with 14 full-time employees and still accumulating a growing list of firsts.
-The first union in the state of Maryland to successfully sue the employer to block a privatization plan.
-The first to pass a binding arbitration provision as impasse resolution in a public employee collective bargaining law.
-The first deferred compensation plan for covered workers.
-Continually leading the way in negotiated wages.

Our MCGEO family takes care of one another.

Many of you know Melissa from the Montgomery County Public Libraries. She and her family recently experienced the unimaginableโ€”a devastating house fire that destroyed their home and left them with the difficult task of rebuilding their lives. Thankfully, everyone is safe, but they lost so much in the fire.

If you're able, please consider making a donation to help Melissa and her family get back on their feet. Every contribution, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful difference. And if you can't donate, sharing the fundraiser is another powerful way to help.

Thank you for showing the compassion and solidarity that make our union family so strong.

Our family is asking for your support after my sister, Melissa, experieโ€ฆ Chardae Buchanan needs your support for Help Melissa Rebuild After Devastating Fire

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ This Fourth of July, on the 250th birthday of our nation, we celebrate the promise of freedom and equality, core tenets of our democracy. We also recommit ourselves to the work of making that promise real for everyone.

The freedoms we value are strengthened when working people have a voice on the job, fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to stand together in a union.

From all of us at UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO, we wish you a safe, happy, and meaningful Independence Day!

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the enduring struggle for freedom, equality, and justice.

Juneteenth is a reminder that progress is achieved when people come together, organize, and refuse to accept injustice. Those same values are at the heart of the labor movement.

At UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO, we know that the fight for dignity on the job, fair pay, safe workplaces, and equal opportunity is connected to the broader struggle for civil and human rights. The work of building a more just society continues, and working people remain at the center of that effort.

Today, we reflect on the sacrifices of those who came before us, celebrate the contributions of Black workers and union members, and recommit ourselves to creating workplaces and communities where everyone can thrive.

Happy Juneteenth.
