I guess he’s in a union?
Looks like the shift has hit the fan.
No, there are international standards for hours of service/hours of rest for pilots. The FAA are quite picky about this domestically. It’s why some long haul routes fly with relief pilots as part of the crew. It sounds like the press is mischaracterizing what the pilot is doing. He’s not refusing to fly, he’s refusing to violate the hours of service rules.

Well, if they have rules for truckers, it seems like they ought to have even stricter rules for pilots...
