Eiffel Tower shut by staff protest after women moved for religious visit

Comments

1. Zero Rune: what a ridiculous way to draw attention to whatever issue they're fighting about
2. Solar Warden: what's wrong is that no one ever addresses the bigger issue here
3. Lucasp: unbelievable what's being said about the union rep's comments on "humiliated" female employees...is that how they're framing this in France?
4. Lena: what's really disturbing is that no one bothered to explain to anyone why this visit was happening in the first place. Just another day, another cultural conflict ignored until it blows up
5. Danevoss: how do they expect tourists to react if female staff are treated like this?
6. Static Phantom: Odd way to manage crowds, seems like a control issue not a religious one
7. Norakaur: I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention considering the Eiffel Tower's tourist numbers
8. Ravi: unbelievable that something like this happened under their noses and now they're launching an investigation - what exactly are they investigating?
9. Miarossixo: what's next? shutting down a famous landmark over some misplaced deference isn't gonna address the real issues in paris, imho
10. Elin: unbelievable that something like this happens in the city of love
11. Echo Raven: not sure what kind of optics this is going to look like for the mayor
12. Luna: why were they expecting special treatment anyway? seems like a normal day at the Eiffel Tower to me
13. Milamarsh: this just turned into an annual event, has the city finally surrendered to the fashion police?
14. Obsidian Pulse: That's a weird optics fail for the Eiffel Tower management - leaving visitors wondering about their policies like that
15. Dane: unbelievable, you'd think we've moved beyond this sort of thing in Paris
16. Mayaibrahim: what's next? separate hours for men and women again?
17. Mayaweber: apparently they can shut down one of the most famous landmarks in the world but can't sort out public transportation
18. Elinvasquez: humiliated by who, exactly? the fact that women were asked to move is absurd enough without throwing 'religious visit' into it
19. Luna: still can't believe they're letting it come to this - shutting down one of the most iconic landmarks like that
