Centre Pompidou workers strike over civil service status changes

Paris's Centre Pompidou has been shuttered since Monday due to a workers' strike, now in its fourth day. This action follows similar protests earlier in March against a new government law that would alter museum employees' status. For four decades, workers have operated on a contract basis since the museum's opening, but the legislation would transition them to civil servants. Employees fear this change could result in reduced salaries. The strike has forced the museum to close its doors to visitors, with BFMTV reporting on the ongoing labor dispute.
