The Eiffel Tower workers have been on a renewable strike for 24 hours now. During school holidays, the Parisian ‘iron lady’ is closed to the public.
The CGT and Force Ouvrière accuse the Paris town hall of poor financial management. With the Olympic Games approaching and counting on an increase in attendance, the town hall has decided to triple the fee that the famous metal tower will have to pay, i.e. 50 million euros. Some work, postponed due to Covid-19, has still not been carried out. According to several employees, there is visible rust on the feet of the monument.
