The protocol is that you should get the next available seat on a flight that will go out but as strikes create backlogs (especially in the high season of mid-August), the next available seat can be quite a few days later.
Strikes are considered "Force Major" and insurance usually does not cover them.

I presume you mean 'force majeure'. Looking closer, Amex seem to say that they will reimburse up to 7,500 GBP for cancellation of a trip. They will also pay 150 GBP for a delay of > 4 hours.
There don't seem to be any exclusions.
I won't worry to much until more details are known.
