A strike that is not an LH strike will be considered extraordinary circumstances. And honestly, the utter mess of the AC strikes and the govt involvement etc … it’s not going to fly

Good luck - if you really want to pursue this, you will need a professional opinion and representation. There are well known lawyers out there and I could contact them for a free consultation
Agreed. 8 months of negotiation is not extraordinary, and easily foreseeable. The AC dropped the ball.
