PARIS (Reuters) - 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.
