埃菲尔铁塔因员工罢工关闭 抗议女性员工遭宗教访问排斥

埃菲尔铁塔因员工罢工于9月8日周一关闭2。员工发表声明谴责"导致女性员工因性别而被边缘化、被替换和被隐形的职业指示"2。这一抗议源于印度教精神运动BAPS约100名成员参访该地标期间，管理层被要求安排访问以限制与女性的互动12。员工工会代表Diane Davoine表示女性被要求离开工作岗位1。

塔楼运营方Société d'Exploitation de la tour Eiffel（SETE）随后承认这一决定存在问题。SETE负责人Ariel Weil表示："没有任何宗教动机能够为欢迎公众中基于性别或任何其他歧视性考虑的区分辩护"2，并称该公司不应接受这些条件，因其违反了性别平等原则1。巴黎市长Emmanuel Grégoire强调"女性和男性之间的平等永远不会在我们历史纪念碑脚下或城市其他任何地方结束"2。BAPS在社交媒体上为此事道歉并声称相信相互尊重和服务的普遍价值1。埃菲尔铁塔定于周二重新开放2。

The Eiffel Tower shut down on Monday following a staff walkout triggered by management's decision to exclude female employees during a visit by BAPS, a Hindu spiritual organization.12 Approximately 100 members of the group visited the iconic landmark on Saturday, with management arranging the tour to limit interactions between visitors and female staff.12

Union representative Diane Davoine reported that female workers were required to leave their posts to accommodate the religious visit.1 The incident prompted swift condemnation from Paris leadership, with Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire stating that "equality between women and men will never end at the foot of our historical monuments or anywhere else in our city."2 SETE, the company operating the tower, acknowledged the arrangement was unacceptable, with President Ariel Weil declaring that "no religious motivation can justify welcoming discrimination based on gender or any other discriminatory consideration among the public."2

The tower, which receives approximately 7 million visitors annually, was expected to reopen on Tuesday.2 BAPS subsequently apologized on social media, stating its belief in "universal values of mutual respect and service."1
