Royal Fleet Auxiliary strikes in war and peace

Is it illegal for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to strike?

Not in peacetime; during wartime service it comes under Royal Navy regulations.

The RFA is discussed as merchant shipping in peacetime, when its sailors can strike. In wartime it comes under Royal Navy rules and regulations, changing that position. The distinction follows the legal status of the service rather than a claim that the same rule applies in every circumstance. It is a concise explanation of how naval logistics personnel can move between merchant and military frameworks.
