Louvre Closes Again Amid Staff Strikes Over Pay
The Louvre Museum has closed its doors again due to ongoing staff strikes over pay and working conditions, marking the third closure in a month. Employees are demanding better compensation, increased recruitment, and improved maintenance, with previous strikes resulting in a loss of at least one million euros in revenue. Director Laurence des Cars faces criticism from union leaders, despite nearly 140 new hires announced since the strike began, as discussions on salary increases are set to take place at the culture ministry.
