Paris Hotel Staff Strike Disrupts IOC Stay Ahead of Olympics

Workers demand pay raises and better benefits after seven years without increases, causing disruptions at the luxury venue.

Hotel du Collectionneur workers began a strike, affecting services at the IOC's exclusive accommodation.
The strike follows failed negotiations over a pay raise and the reinstatement of a '13th month' bonus.
The hotel received €22 million from the IOC for exclusive use during the Paris Olympics.
Despite a €9.5 million dividend to shareholders, staff have not seen salary increases.
Protests add to broader labor tensions in France, with potential for more strikes during the Games.
