Overview
- An assembly of roughly 200 to 250 employees voted Monday to continue the strike, according to CFDT representative Valérie Baud.
- The museum restricted access to a chefs-d'oeuvre route that includes the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, a spokesperson said.
- Since the action began on December 15, the Louvre has closed fully four times and operated partially on four other days, including Monday.
- Union representative Christian Galani of the CGT said staff want president Laurence des Cars to appear this week to address their demands.
- Operational strain has intensified after the museum disclosed a ticketing fraud exceeding €10 million and reported water damage to a 19th-century painted ceiling, following an €88 million theft in October.
