FILE - Museums employees walk down an aisle of the Vatican Museums as they prepare to open the museum, at the Vatican, Monday, Feb. 1, 2021. Forty-nine employees of the Vatican Museums have filed a class-action complaint with the Vatican administration demanding better seniority, leave and overtime benefits in an unusual, public challenge to Pope Francis governance. The complaint, dated April 23, 2024, was made public the weekend of May 10, 2024, in Italian newspapers.

Among other things, they demanded better transparency about how employees are able to advance, a restoration of seniority bonuses and insisted the Vatican follow Italian norms on sick days. Employees currently have to stay home all day, rather than a few hours, to await a potential visit to check that they aren’t merely taking the day off, the complaint said.
