Narrative:

*First officer relates flight crew problems that culminated in his being removed from the flight pattern and being replaced by another first officer. Problems apparently strike related.

The association has a committee set up to handle these strike related problems and they will pursue this until settled. This first officer has been involved in a similar problem with another captain. Captain in this situation maintains he had the first officer removed because he made a call to ord approach controller about speed after the captain specifically said, 'if they want you to slow, they'll tell you.'
