Louvre Opening Delayed Amid Strike Decision
The Louvre museum in Paris had a delayed opening on Monday.
The staff was having a meeting to decide if they should start their strike again.
They had stopped the strike in December but are now thinking about starting it up again because they are not happy with their pay and working conditions.
The museum was supposed to open at a certain time, but the meeting made it open later than usual.
Louvre museum staff delayed the opening until 0900 GMT on Monday.
Staff met to decide whether to resume a strike over pay and working conditions.
The strike was initially called off on December 19 until January 5.
The strike began in December 2023.
The museum's opening was affected by the staff meeting.
