Strike objects are objects made in small series by workers during industrial conflicts. They have various functions and forms. They do not fit into ordinary industrial production, but are often particularly useful for popularising or financing a strike. From the 1980s, many of these objects have been collected and photographed by Jean-Luc Moulène, a contemporary artist. The results of his work have been exhibited on several occasions and the objects themselves have been given to the State. They are held today at Roubaix, at the national archive depot for the archives of the world of work (Archives Nationales du Monde du Travail).
