The Eiffel Tower was closed to the public on Monday following a staff protest regarding the treatment of female employees during a visit by a Hindu group. Staff members initiated the action to condemn instructions that resulted in women being sidelined, replaced, and rendered invisible during the event.
Employees characterized the incident as a discriminatory practice based on sex. The closure serves as a response to these internal grievances, highlighting a conflict between workplace conduct standards and the requirements imposed during the visiting group's tour.
