I'm pretty sure that they would have a very hard time convincing any judge or jury that a single person, let alone multiple people, were directly dissuaded from seeking employment 100% due to the fact that this website existed. In addition to that, there is no requirement by anybody related to either party to force anyone to go to and / or read the contents.

At worst, change a bit of the wording. Instead of, "If the pilots should strike while you are on probation, you will face a very difficult choice: strike with us and be fired by the company, or cross a picket line and earn the black mark of a scab."

..make sure you use words such as, "...could be...", or even, "..likely be", if precedent has been set.

If statements of fact are indeed fact, you will be fine.
After 9/11 they "Fired" all the Chq probationary pilots, precident is there.
