Dancers for the Opening Ceremony Threaten Strike as Paris Games Approach

With just days until the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, negotiations between dancers and organizers have reached an impasse, raising concerns about potential disruptions to the event. The SFA-CGT union, representing approximately 300 of the 3,000 performers involved in the ceremony, rejected a proposal for additional compensation on Tuesday.

The union, which filed a strike notice last week, cited significant pay disparities among dancers as the primary issue. In response to their demands, the organizing committee offered an extra 120 euros for the lowest-paid performers, an amount the union deemed insufficient.

This labor dispute adds to the mounting pressure on French organizers, who are already grappling with various public sector workers demanding bonuses for working during the summer holiday period. The situation threatens to reinforce France’s reputation for labor unrest at a time when global attention is focused on Paris.

The opening ceremony, planned as a groundbreaking event along the Seine River, will feature thousands of athletes sailing on boats, marking the first time a summer Olympics has opened outside a traditional stadium setting.
