Workers at the Eiffel Tower have continued their strike for the third consecutive day, resulting in the closure of the iconic landmark to visitors. The ongoing protest, led by the CGT union, is centered around demands for salary increases and improved working conditions. The strike has caused disruptions to the usual operations of the 135-year-old tower, with a warning of potential further closures on Thursday if the demands are not met.
One of the key issues raised by the striking employees is the need for a salary hike that reflects the revenue generated from ticket sales. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the maintenance of the Eiffel Tower, with reports of rust appearing on some of its ironwork. The workers are advocating for better upkeep of the monument to ensure its longevity and structural integrity.
