- Eiffel Tower workers began a strike over instructions that female staff hide during a private visit by members of a Hindu religious organization.
- The attraction’s website cited an operational delay in its opening, while workers protested the alleged directive.
Workers at the Eiffel Tower went on strike Monday after female staff were allegedly instructed to remain “invisible” during a private visit by members of a Hindu religious organization the previous Saturday.
The protest centers on an order that workers say required women employees to stay out of sight during the visit. The instruction prompted staff to challenge how the private event was handled.
The Eiffel Tower’s official website described the delayed opening as being caused by “operational reasons.” The workers’ strike, however, was linked to the complaint over the treatment of female staff during the private gathering.
