The company that manages the tower says the CGT union, which represents most of the Eiffel Tower&rsquo;s 300 workers, called the walkout Tuesday morning. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/Eiffel-Tower-A.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 706px;" /> Company director Nicolas Lefebvre said that the management and the union are in negotiations this week over salary raises, company profit-sharing policy and other issues. The 124-year-old tower, normally open 365 days a year, sees about 25,000 tourists daily. It occasionally closes because of suicide threats, bomb threats or strikes. u00a0
