Labor rule differences?
In reading of the recent strike action by Lufthansa pilots over the last couple months, I must ask what the differences are when it comes to negotiations and strikes. We are tied up for years before ever being released for a strike. What is their rules like over there?

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.

Is there any kind of definition or standard that the NMB uses to determine when an impasse is reached? There is no reason it should take 5+ years to negotiate a new contract. Something is wrong with that and the NMB more than the RLA.
