SAG Contract Expires in June (Possibility of a Strike) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well I think the title says it all. In June the Scree Actor's Guild contract expires. This COULD lead to a strike in order to get money from iTunes sales, DVD sales, episodes online, etc. (basically the same stuff the writer's strike dealt with). This really stinks. So basically the next TV season could be cut short just like this past one.

My guess is that if there is a strike it will be resolved MUCH quicker than the writer's strike b/c when the writer's strike was going on there were still scripts that could be used and production could continue. But with an actors strike production would have to completely close down and nothing could be made.
