Workers blocked activity at the construction site of an Olympic arena in northern Paris on Tuesday to press their demands for contracts and French residency permits.
Around 120 workers entered the site at 7am local time (0500 GMT) on Tuesday, saying they planned to stay until their demands are met.
Around 20 of the striking workers said they have been employed on the site of the Porte de la Chapelle arena, which is set to host badminton and gymnastic competitions in the 2024 summer Olympics.
The others said they worked in similar conditions at construction sites across the city.
