Workers at the Louvre Museum voted on Monday to strike over working conditions and other issues, a union said, dealing another blow to the Paris museum after an embarrassing jewellery heist in October.

The CFDT union said the vote was taken at a meeting of 400 workers on Monday and that they decided to strike for the day.
