Context by Compass

The claim that the CGT Spectacle union has filed a strike notice for the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics on July 26 is accurate. Multiple sources, including Sortir à Paris, Connexion France, and Barron's, confirm that the SFA-CGT union, representing performers, has indeed filed a strike motion. The union is protesting against what it describes as "blatant inequalities of treatment" among the performers, with significant disparities in pay and conditions. The strike notice also extends to the rehearsals for the Paralympic Games opening ceremony on August 28. The union's grievances include issues such as some performers not being informed of their rights and discrepancies in compensation. As of the latest updates, negotiations are ongoing, and the strike has not been called off yet.
