It’s mainly paper, which is a part of plant kind of. And kind of a cloth, too.
I’ll be honest, this isn’t the best one, folks. Don’t throw a brick at me when you get it.
Newspaper?
Book bindery?

Does the word “Strike” refer to a withdrawal of labour?
Does it refer to hitting something?
Strike means the normal “walk out” or “refusal to work” that the natural reading would have you think.
Stationery?
Advertising?
Government propaganda?
Wrapping paper?
Money?
Art?
Does the reason for the strike have anything to do with the paper?
Will figuring out the reason for the paper lead to why the workers struck?

Note: I misread your final question and switched from yes to no. I’m not sure what I thought your question was.
So eighteenth century French money printers/lawmakers went on strike for reasons having nothing to do with the job, with money or the making of money? It wasn’t about their work conditions or to gain benefits?
Was it a political protest?
Was it the design of the banknotes?
Let’s break it down:
Nothing to do with the job? No, it had to do with the job. I hope I didn’t say that.
Nothing to do with the money? Well, making money is the job…but no, not their salaries.
Making the money? Yes, it had to do with making the money.
Work conditions? Kind of, yes.
Benefits? No.
No.
So they went on strike for some reason that had to do with the creation of the money. That reason is not a desire for improved work conditions in the creation of the money.
Did the workers go on strike because of something they had before that was taken away?
We’re they protesting a rule regarding the creation of the money?
Could the workers take home defective money before and that was stopped?
Was this before or after the French Revolution?
Wait, it was kind of about work conditions? Now I am confused. Earlier it was said this was not because of a desire to improve work conditions.
Were they striking over the length or frequency of the weekend? After the French Revolution they switched from a 7 day week with 1 day off to a 10 day week with 1 day off. This was not popular.
No. (during)
Nothing like “it’s too hot” or “we don’t get enough breaks” or “they beat us” or anything like that.
[prepares to dodge]
Did they go on strike to get different graphics on the money?
