The unions of the Eiffel Tower operating company (SETE) unanimously voted for a renewable strike from February 19. The last employee strike dates back to December 27.
The unions believe that costs are underestimated and revenues overestimated. Despite its 6.3 million visitors in 2023, or 17,000 visitors per day, the most emblematic monument faces a cash hole “of several million euros” Since 2017, the costs of the work initially planned have been exceeded by 128 million euros.
