Louvre partially reopens after worker strike following heist.

The Louvre Museum in Paris partially reopened on Wednesday amidst a strike by workers protesting difficult conditions following a jewel heist in October. Some areas of the museum were inaccessible to the public due to the industrial action, with hundreds of tourists waiting outside as the opening was delayed. Union representatives of the workforce, concerned about staff shortages and disrepair, voted to continue the strike despite proposed measures by the Ministry of Culture. Louvre director Laurence des Cars faces scrutiny over the heist as emergency anti-intrusion measures are implemented to reorganize the museum.
