EU: What are my rights when an airline is on strike?
score:4
Accepted answer
An airline has a duty of care irrespective of whether the delay or cancellation is caused by circumstances beyond the airline's control. The airline is responsible for food and accommodation still.
From wikipedia:
Even in the event of a flight cancellation on account of unforeseen technical problems, air carriers are required to compensate passengers.
Some other random site specifically mentioning strikes:
Whilst you are not able to claim monetary compensation when your plane is delayed or cancelled due to strike action, under EC261/2004 the airline still has a duty of care to passengers. Article 9 of the Regulation sets out in more detail the care and assistance that the airline must provide free of charge.

- Meals and refreshments in reasonable relation to the waiting time
- Hotel accommodation in cases where a stay of one night or more becomes necessary
- Transport between the airport and the accommodation
- Two telephone calls, telex or fax messages or email
