The union has raised concerns about unfair treatment and inadequate compensation for dancers, while also highlighting safety issues related to lead contamination at performance sites. Meanwhile, speculation surrounds the participation of music icons like Lady Gaga and Céline Dion at the ceremony, which is set to take place along the Seine River for the first time in Olympic history. As the event approaches, labor disputes involving firefighters and airport staff could further complicate the proceedings.
