You will be contacted with your rebooking options if your flight is cancelled. I'm not sure if you would have the option to rebook onto a different carrier - they will instead most likely try to accomodate you on different dates.

Flights that cannot be operated as planned due to a strike action are specifically exempted from the normal EU261/2004 requirements for compensation:
- (14) As under the Montreal Convention, obligations on operating air carriers should be limited or excluded in cases where an event has been caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such circumstances may, in particular, occur in cases of political instability, meteorological conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight concerned, security risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings and strikes that affect the operation of an operating air carrier.
