Suspect Eurovision might be targetted too, especially with the "volunteers" from elsewhere in the BBC inu se.
I don't think a strike is possible - who would cover? I think Stephen Cole and D'Oiley Osman are both retired.
The return of Nicholas Witchell to newsreading?

Lots of regional staff are considered bi or tri-media and work across multiple outlets.

National output not affected - there’ll be a “solidarity” picket line outside NBH but not many expected to join it.

The News Channel does (or did) sometimes use reports from regional reporters, so there may be some slight impact

BBC London sometimes uses reporters from BBC Radio London who are tri-media for VTs.
When I've dipped into other regional bulletins, I've seen some VTs from radio reporters as well.
