Staff at the Louvre voted for another day of strike action on Monday, union representatives told AFP in Paris, threatening fresh disruption at the world's most-visited museum. Disgruntled staff stopped work for three days last month, causing a complete shutdown on one day and partial closures on two others. More than two months after an embarrassing daylight heist at the museum, which has heaped pressure on management, staff are calling for more recruitment and better maintenance of the vast complex of buildings. "Around 350 people from various professions -- operations, conservation, support staff -- voted unanimously" to resume strike action, Valerie Baud from the CFDT union told AFP. It was unclear whether the strikers would force management to close or limit access to visitors on Monday.
