  • The Louvre’s spontaneous strike erupted during a routine internal meeting, as gallery attendants, ticket agents and security personnel refused to take up their posts in protest over unmanageable crowds, chronic understaffing and what one union called “untenable” working conditions.

    It’s rare for the Louvre to close its doors. It has happened during war, during the pandemic, and in a handful of strikes — including spontaneous walkouts over overcrowding in 2019 and safety fears in 2013. But seldom has it happened so suddenly, without warning, and in full view of the crowds.




  • Who needs to have their minds changed about this? DHS, local PD, reserve, national guard, etc. And maybe their families/friends if those folks aren’t afraid of them.

    So, I think the original comment is right: the most impact would be had if the panel looks like the folks we see using horses to trample protesters (or in military leadership etc). Or like tank-on-Tesla guy.

    Tank on Tesla

    That said, the conversation’s gotta start somewhere, and I appreciate these folks doing it and putting their names/faces out there in this climate.
