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 Maryland’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.
“In 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,” recalls Gino Renne who has served as the Local’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.

MCGEO’s 2026 endorsements were made with one priority in mind: the needs, concerns, and lived experiences of our members.

After extensive discussion and deliberation, our endorsement committee made the decision not to endorse in the Montgomery County Executive race this cycle — a rare step for us that reflects the seriousness of the moment and the importance of accountability, workplace respect, and strong labor-management relations. Our endorsements are never just given away easily; candidates must earn them.

They are alleging the same within the Occupational Medical Services department, which provides health and wellness services for county employees.

UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO, which represents county government employees who are not educators or first responders, and Montgomery County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 35 issued a letter Thursday stating that a complaint about the allegations filed to Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown’s office in February has languished.
