Louvre reopens fully after staff vote to suspend strike
Staff suspended a strike after three days of disruption over pay, staffing, and security, despite an €88 million crown jewels theft and ongoing building maintenance issues.
- On Friday, December 19, Louvre museum staff voted against continuing the strike, ending three days of disruption while CGT and CFDT union leaders warned of future action.
- Staff at the Louvre struck to press demands for more recruitment and maintenance, while CGT and CFDT unions said talks with management and the Culture Ministry showed insufficient progress.
- The former royal palace and its 400 rooms were shut to visitors on Monday, frustrating thousands of festive holidaymakers who waited on December 18 after partial reopenings.
- A temporary halt leaves the dispute unresolved as CGT and CFDT unions warn of further stoppages, with workers set to meet at a general assembly on January 5 to consider resuming action.
- A daylight heist and repeated maintenance failures have heightened concern after two intruders stole eight priceless items and questions arise over crown jewels worth �88 million; November water leak damage adds to issues.
