Just in time for the holidays, the Marciano Art Foundation laid off staff only four days after they filed their petition to form a union. The next day, the Marcianos closed the whole museum, indicating that they would rather cut and run on their obligations to the community rather than address employees’ concerns. A week later, they continue to hold private tours and events at MAF.

MAF workers need our help and solidarity. On Black Friday, November 29, join AFSCME members and supporters who are gathering at Guess stores around the country to tell the Marciano family to respect workers’ rights, reopen the Marciano Art Foundation (MAF), reinstate their workers and recognize their union.

AFSCME Council 31 is focusing on two Chicagoland Guess stores: Rosemont and Orland Park. Fill out this form if you can participate and someone will contact you to follow up. Solidarity!
