We were given accommodations at FRA during last year's LH strikes, when our TATL flight was cancelled.

We get stuck at FRA, in the same rather boring and oversized hotel a lot.
Many airlines give hotels for MX and other situations when it's their fault, but not weather, strikes, etc.

EU261 has a duty of care provision that would have forced LH to cover you at FRA during hurricane Sandy. I'm not sure whether this extends to strikes.
