Is there a thread where *A strikes are listed?

I am based in NA, and flew into London for a meeting.

Afterwards, I had set up a mileage ticket to go to Russia.

However, on the outbound (SAS) it turned out that SAS was on strike (at least on 5/28).

I had zero notice - I did not find out until I'd come into the airport.

Fortunately SAS bought me a seat on BA and all was well - adding on 2 hours of delay.

However, I am now concerned about my return where I'm going LED-MUC-LHR, then LHR-LAX-SFO on my original paid ticket.

If LH is on strike, I'll miss my return paid ticket and really not be happy.

On the other hand, if I know I can possibly make other arrangements.

Just keep an eye on the SK forum, I'm fairly sure they have more strikes than the rest of *A combined...

I doubt there will be any strikes on LH in the near future, so no need to worry there.

Lufthansa did have a warning strike

This link shows a warning strike in April, also I had read about a Frankfurt strike in mid May.

This other link shows a cabin crew strike by Lufthansa on 6/14/07

Hence my concern!

I think the date you were reading was incorrect. If you check the Bloomberg story with exactly the same content, it's still refering to April:
