As long as union employees are not considered "terminated", it is my impression that both scenarios are handled similarly. That is, they do not accrue service during the time they are either on strike or locked out by the employer.

Can anyone offer any war stories?

Shouldn't this depend on what is in the CBA and/or the PD?

One sleeper issue here is compliance with the COBRA rules. That is often overlooked in the strike/lockout situation.

(I realize that this isn't a qualification issue, but it is something you might want to point out to your client.)
