Boeing pilots to replace striking pilots :(

On Page 3 of a more recent Forbes article than the one the OP posted,

it says the strike wasn't legal (emphasis mine):
In a prepared statement, Avianca noted that ACDAC’s strike has been declared illegal by the Superior Tribunal of Bogota and the Colombian Supreme Court.
“One of the consequences of illegally conducting an illegal strike is that the contracts of individuals who participated in it may be terminated as a result of disciplinary proceedings that safeguard the right of defense, which is what Avianca is doing,” the carrier said.

The contractor, Cambridge Communications Limited, is based in the Isle of Man in the British Isles. In a circular advertising for experienced pilots willing to fly for client Boeing Pilot Services for $547.95 per day, it said applicants “must have no issues with union busting or strike breaking.”

BUT, the same article, on Page 1, also has this nugget about the company on contract to Boeing that employs those pilots (emphasis mine):

Colombia’s Constitution guarantees freedom of association and provides for collective bargaining and the right to strike (with some exceptions).
Strikes, when held in accordance with the law, are recognized as legal instruments to obtain better working conditions, and employers are prohibited from using strike-breakers at any time during the course of a strike. After 60 days of strike action, the parties are subject to compulsory arbitration. Strikes are prohibited in certain “essential public services,” as defined by law, although Colombia has been criticized for having an overly-broad interpretation of “essential.”
That is what happened with the ACDAC strike against Avianca. A judge ruled that the airlines/aviation was an "essential public service" thus making the strike "illegal".
