Olympic ceremony:
Dancers boycott rehearsal for opening ceremony
A few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, dancers have boycotted the dress rehearsal. 150 people, who were supposed to perform at the opening ceremony, protested for better working conditions, as reported by the French broadcaster Franceinfo.
The artists did not dance at the rehearsal on Monday, but stood still with their fists raised.
Unequal pay
The background to this is a long-running dispute between a French trade union and the producer of the opening ceremony. The union has already announced a strike for the day of the opening ceremony. It is claiming unequal pay between the various dancers.
According to the broadcaster BFMTV, around 3,000 dancers, musicians and actors are due to perform on the Seine during the opening ceremony on Friday.
