Arrr, me hearties! The Eiffel Tower be closed on Monday, thanks to a mutiny by the scallywags workin' there. They be complainin' 'bout the treasure bein' squandered by the higher-ups. Looks like plunderin' tourists will have to find a different booty to pillage for now!
Arrr, me hearties! Visits to the grand Eiffel Tower were thrown into chaos on Monday due to a strike caused by the sorry state of the monument's finances. This towering 984-foot marvel in the heart of Paris has been overrun with swashbuckling tourists flocking in for the upcoming Summer Olympics in the city.Those brave souls planning to scale the heights of the Eiffel Tower were met with warnings of disruptions in many tongues on the monument's website. They were advised to keep a weather eye on the website before setting foot on the grounds, or to consider delaying their voyage.While the Eiffel Tower is usually open every day of the year, the occasional strike can bring its operations to a screeching halt. Just last December, the monument was shuttered for a full day during the Christmas and New Year festivities due to another labor dispute.Stephane Dieu, from the CGT union representing the tower's crew, has raised the black flag for a wage increase proportional to the bounty brought in by ticket sales, as well as better upkeep for this iconic structure under the ownership of the Paris municipality.
