A strike which was instigated by the staff at the Eiffel Tower has been terminated, according to the company that runs one of the most visited tourist sites in the world via in a statement on Saturday.
The company by name Societe d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), which is owned by Paris City Hall had also added that the notable tower will reopen on Sunday, February 25.
Recall that workers at the Eiffel Tower had gone on strike on February 19 to protest the way the Paris monument is being managed.
The strike had come as Paris is gearing up to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, which will begin on July 26 and will feature metal from the tower in the winners’ medals.
SETE and trade unions had allegedly “reached an end-of-strike agreement mandating that the parties will frequently review the company’s business model, maintenance costs and sales through a body that will be meeting every six months,” according to the company.
SETE said visitors who bought tickets between February 19-24 will be getting refunds.
The Trade unions had claimed that Paris City Hall, which owns 99% of SETE, is underestimating the cost of the planned maintenance and repairs to the monument ahead of the Olympics.
