Historical Note
The UFCW was created through the merger of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America (AMC) union and Retail Clerks International Union (RCIU), following the new union's founding convention in June 1979. William H. Wynn, president of the RCIU and one of the designers of the merger, became president of UFCW at the time of its founding. The merger created the largest union affiliated with the AFL-CIO. The UFCW continued to expand both by organizing and merging with several smaller unions between 1980 and 1998.
UFCW Local 204 was based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and primarily represents the interests of grocery store and nursing home employees. In 1986, Local 204 absorbed Local 525 from Asheville. In the early 2000s, Local 204 moved from Charlotte to Winston-Salem. Throughout the time period represented by these materials, Local 204 was led by Eileen Hanson.
