Louvre Museum Closed Again Due to Strike

The Louvre Museum in Paris was closed today, for the third time since mid-December, due to strike action by employees. The employees are demanding better working conditions and have decided to repeat the strikes, despite previous discussions. Approximately 300 employees had voted in favor of continuing the strike action at a general assembly. The situation is causing problems for public access to the cultural treasure housed in the museum.
