Marciano Art Foundation Lays Off Employees For Joining A Union

[@dualwinchesters]

As an arts worker, thank you for standing up and fighting for your right to unionize! I'll spread the word wherever I can here in Canada and online. You have support friends. Even up here in the cold north!

[@almahdi990]

Wish I could hug you now. Thank you Moffitt for these valuable information. Proud of you guys.

[@HFTNYC]

This is awful, thank you so much for spreading the word and fighting the good fight! 💙

[@AlexAquarius30]

I live in LA and had no idea thanks for enlightening me. Keep fighting the good fight!❤️

[@andrewaustin3780]

Hello Sam Haun, how are you doing today?

[@kevpaulsen]

Thanks Kenny for keeping us informed. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors!

[@calumscott6417]

Are u okay?.... Not about the video. U have been absent for 10months. How are u doing.

[@moshemordechaivanzuiden]

Excellent editing!! Good luck.

[@C.Noble13]

Excellent works ❣ Thank you for your fine strong works. I am very grateful. Hope you are safe and healthy. 💚

[@shaneinseattle1785]

I miss you channel. Well, it’s you that I miss. Hi!

[@were-all-human9427]

Hi Ken, off topic mate, just wanted to wish you well, stay safe and have relaxed Christmas. Hugs from UK. As a single, 40+,supermarket key-worker (being verbally abused daily), tired and yet hoping for a better life, your videos do help me on my journey..(My employer, a National major Brand does not recognise any union).

[@ridleyvision]

Very interesting and engaging. Thank you for sharing and standing up for art workers.

[@delicate-wonderland-bunny]

United we bargain, divided we beg. Union strong. Keep fighting. I'm in a union. Fork the line crosses too.

[@CoderatheGreat]

I visited the museum earlier this year and I had no idea that the workers there were being mistreated! Thank you for informing me about this and making your voices heard! I never realized that the Marcianos were such scumbags. I'm with you in solidarity.

[@greyzonee8242]

Hey Ken, Just know that you are missed here. hope you have been well and know that your videos really kept me going. don't give up on your dreams and independence. live life to the fullest. hope to catch up with you. From Asia here

[@disasterbanoodle1822]

Good information about horrendous business practices. Amazing work! Will def. Be sharing this around! Anyone interested in history, art, and museums should be aware of this. Unfortunatly this is a result of billionaires owning things. Never ends well.

[@thewalrusaurus]

As a fellow AFSCME member my thoughts are with you and your coworkers. If i lived in LA i'd be joining you on the picket line.

[@kamoogy]

I'm sorry that you're going through this. I worked, as a manager, at an International call center named Sykes. The manager's had regular training classes. One of these were how to keep agents from unionizing and how we could be "tricked" into taking documents that would start the unionization process. We were told that if the call center were to unionize that it would be closed. This was in Wise VA. I worked there for 9 1/2 years and finally left.

[@DaOriginalMurdah]

i've been trying to join the union (trades) but it seems no one is hiring and alot of guy seem to be layed off

[@pranavkher2255]

Kenny comeback I love your videos!!! I miss you so much I discovered you and your channel very recently and Im already soo in love with you. You instantly became my fav after watching your videos on buzzfeed. I'd love to see more skits and sketches of yours again. I hope you doin well. Love❤️

[@gbriank1]

Where are you interviewing at, Kenny?

[@unknownperson-wb3vh]

So where are you now it’s been 8 months

[@Tripper111]

Dude, are you ever coming back to KZbin???

[@xtreamchance]

I would hope, Kenny, you move back into Journalism/Video production. Why don't you go to work with Phil Defranco?

[@heademptty]

Welp guess its round two of ruining a stupid capitalist business for not giving their employees rights. Time to mobilize folks! Let's go! Just like the Roman Stone Works thing lol

[@ReneKnights]

Thank you so much for sharing, Kenny.

[@were-all-human9427]

Kenny, are you OK? Clearing the Air - you seemed ok - a year ago Talking PreP - so we know you safe (ish) - its not 100% but better than just raw So Here's What Happened - 2 years ago...... - sorryyyy Kenny, you clearly a lost man& hurting watching this I was really worried for you, your wellbeing He Told His Mom About Me - 3 years ago.... we all move on sometimes, live your life -but here you seemed sooo happy.. I could see you two being married and doing the lifelong thing ... Im new to your channel - 2020, so still catching up..... you popped in my box after I found (yeah I went searching to learn more) 'KC Jax Joe' channel and ok their income source is deffo diff to yours!!!, but the relationship is similar, maybe, (KC & Jax married 5 years, Joe new in - so not convinced its not about their income source - Ill wait and see). Anyways... sad to hear you 3 moved on - any chance you would do a video (with your ex as you live together still, 2020?) about what split you up, mayb thats way too personal, so Im sorry to ask. So, now, Sept 2020, how you doing? xx hugs from UK

[@scotty9898]

Wow, that sucks. I was a union member for IUE-CWA and just CWA, unions are getting pushed out everywhere. I'm so sorry Kenny

[@ThisismeLADY]

Best of luck..keep fighting! Stay connected! 👍

[@andrewaustin3780]

Hello beautiful, how are you doing today?

[@ThisismeLADY]

@@andrewaustin3780 doing well! Thanks 😊

[@lokalboys2482]

Nice

[@sualaujchannel]

Gooog,👍👍👍♥️♥️🥀🥀🥀

[@dabeage]

Thanks for the thorough research...definitely won't be supporting any of their enterprises. Sorry you were put in this situation, best of luck to you Kenny and all the other employees.

[@jameskantor0459]

Sorry to hear that. ;(

[@charamonterdelifestyleinusa]

Woooooooow awesome nice

[@binyoung7297]

Good luck. Oppressed people might work together to fight the ruthless capitalists!

[@tigergreg8]

I may be taking this to a level many don't care about, or maybe understand, but, when individuals play games with peoples lives and futures, their are consequences you pay for. Have you helped your fellow man? Have you been honest in your business dealings? Yes, these are a couple questions that will be asked of you when it's your time to answer for yourself in the future. Those in power will have a lot to answer too, because they've taken the responsibility of these individuals in their hands, so, they will answer for each and every one of them, especially those who may suffer in one form or another. You don't get away with anything, because it's all being recorded and kept on record,and that is the truth.

[@dcallan812]

Very sad to hear. It would be better flipping burgers.

[@tokuyou3811]

DC Allan some of us already do

[@dcallan812]

@@tokuyou3811 I was surprised they could get away with their actions and have no consequences. Your employment laws are very different from the UKs.

[@tokuyou3811]

DC Allan sadly many museums are just starting to unionize so that better rights can be achieved

[@BSGSV]

Sorry this is happening to you. You need to improve your financial stability and get away from creeps like the Marcianos.

[@wakandaforever5328]

Welcome to the new economy!! No more will you get full benefits, requisite pay and pension. Those days are gone. The gig economy and contract working is the norm while at the same time the prerequisites are insane for jobs 20 years ago didn’t have. Err one was asleep now it’s too late.

[@5850terry]

If they closed the place for the foreseeable future there doesn't seem to be much you can do.

[@5850terry]

Use this situation to force yourself to find a better job with a larger company that won't do this. You could probably make that money at Target or WalMart.

[@BlakRainbow39]

5850terry That was probably what management wanted. Lay-off everyone. They find other work (or cave). Business reopens with fresh employees they can treat just as badly or worse than the old ones. Since the 80s, grad schools have legit been teaching business students how to bust unions. This is one of the basic ways they do it.

[@silasbishop3055]

Sounds like a terrible place to work. Why don't you leave?

[@islandbee]

Never expect an union to be your savior when it comes to securing your employment or livelihood. Be your own boss and call your own shots. You have over 150k KZbin subscribers for Pete's sake! Build on that!
