Closure at the Eiffel Tower due to staff strike: "There is no good management of the monument". "They see it as a gold mine, but if expenses and income are not balanced, we run the risk of going into deficit," says Denis Vavassori, a worker at the tower.
The decision to stop has been made by the company in charge of operating the tower, Sete, which is 99% owned by the Paris City Council. This afternoon the company's management has a meeting to decide whether to continue with the strikes.
