EU: What are my rights when an airline is on strike?

EU: What are my rights when an airline is on strike? - Low angle of unrecognizable male pilots in uniforms standing on aged gray multirole combat aircraft before flight against cloudy sunset sky

Long story short: an airline was on strike and, with a notice of 3 days in advance, my flight was moved two days later, so I had to stay 2 days more where I was. I already know that I'm entitled to no compensation for the lost working days (a strike is considered by EU law an "unpredictable event"), but when I went to the airline asking for reimbursement for hotel and meals' expenses, they said "hell, no". Is it not my right to obtain a reimbursement for those?
