Pickpockets force Paris Eiffel Tower staff walk-out
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been closed to the public as staff stage a walk-out to protest against a surge in pickpocketing gangs in its area. Workers say the gangs are increasingly threatening them with assault or abuse. The company managing the major tourist attraction said it was working with police to guarantee the security of staff and the public, but "regrets that visitors... are being punished". The 126-year-old iron lattice tower has become a glittering symbol of Paris. 'Fight among themselves'Staff say that "formal guarantees" are needed from management to stop pickpocketing gangs who target numerous tourists every day.
The thieves "form a gang of four to five people", and sometimes there can be about 30 of them surrounding the tower, one of the striking workers told the AFP news agency. Occasionally they even "fight among themselves". Another striker said that he had been threatened while chasing away a pickpocket: "He said to me, 'why don't you let us work... if this continues you will have problems'.
