Workers at the world-renowned Louvre Museum in Paris are poised to vote on strike action this Monday, or alternatively, to continue negotiations with the government. This follows months of escalating pressure, with unions describing the world’s most visited museum as being "in crisis."
Hundreds of employees will gather behind closed doors in a 500-seat auditorium within the iconic Paris landmark. Union representatives will present the outcome of recent talks with Culture Minister Rachida Dati, after which a vote will be taken by a show of hands. The decision could once again bring the vast institution to a complete standstill.
