In Hong Kong, where strikes are not allowed and pilots only have a big mouth when they feel safe ( in the cockpit or on prune usually). Why?

That is completely wong (see what I did there?)
Strikes ARE allowed. Has happened many times, most recently, the strike with cargo port workers.
But we can't even get everyone in CC, so still have a long way to go. I guess expect more of the same until then.

This is what I really respect about the German union, and in particular the VC Union. They not only look after their senior pilots, but they also look after the junior pilots by demanding that the new joiners get the same deal. Mistakes in the US include not sticking up for all, and looking out for themselves.
How can the senior pilots at any airline really expect to maintain what they have buy agreeing that the younger generation work for less?
"Vereiningung Cockpit, the union representing most of Lufthansa's 5,400 pilots, last week said it was calling for a three day strike from April 2 over plans by Germany (http://uk.reuters.com/places/germany)'s largest airline to scrap an early retirement deal.
Although Lufthansa had improved its offer, the pilots said it wasn't enough as it didn't apply to pilots joining after 2014".
CX senior pilots have never looked out for its junior pilots, CX management have engineered this beautifully.
