My brother works for a foreign airline, but not in Europe. If you look at my avatar you can probably figure it out.

It may not be similar, but I have a feeling it is based on what he says the Euros he works with tell him about it as many worked for European airlines before finding themselves in the Southern Hemisphere.

First, and most obvious is that there is NO RLA. When it comes to strikes/work stoppages there are some rules that do apply. Such as the length of said action, as well as how much notice has to be given the airline's management by the union before the action is taken.
