We will be meeting at 9am at Bass Pro Shop parking lot entrance (7000 Arundel Mills Cir., Hanover, MD 21076) at 9am.

PARKING: If there is no parking in the Arundel Mills Lot, there should be parking at the Parking Garage at Maryland Live Casino. If that is also full, park at the Safeway at 7643 Arundel Mills Blvd., Hanover, MD 21076 and call Joe (410-736-8975) for the free courtesy shuttle to the action.

If you’re late, come through the Bass Pro Shop, turn right inside the mall, Guess jeans is right there on the left in Neighborhood 4.

Join other workers, unionists, and artists from across the country will be showing support for these workers as they fight to join our AFSCME family. We stand in solidarity with these 70 visitor services associates, leads and docents, who are organizing for basic things like a water fountain, set schedules, and to be paid more than minimum wage.

Here are the facts:

  • The Marciano Art Foundation is an LA art museum, founded and backed by Paul and Maurice Marciano. These two brothers own around 30% of Guess Jeans, worth about $350,000,000. Guess has a history of union busting and labor violations.
  • Nearly 70 workers at the MAF were laid off just four days after filing a petition to form their union.
  • Now the Marciano brothers have abruptly closed the museum due to "low attendance"—a flimsy excuse.
