Striking workers again close down the Eiffel Tower ahead of its starring role in the Paris Olympics
Striking workers again closed down the Eiffel Tower on Wednesday, the third day running that the landmark expected to be at the heart of celebrations for the Paris Olympics has been off-limits to visitors. One of the strikers' representatives, Denis Vavassori of the CGT union, has previously warned that their protest action "could go on for several days, even weeks.” Striking employees are demanding a salary increase proportionate to revenue from ticket sales.
