With all the differences worked out between writers and studios, the strike-shortened 2007-08 television is far behind us, right?

Not so fast. After studios decided they would not return to the bargaining table, yet another union is looking to create a work stoppage -- one that could provide a crippling blow to Hollywood.

The negotiating committee of the Screen Actors Guild is meeting Wednesday to decide whether or not it will ask its members to vote on a strike, which could come around the one-year anniversary of the Writers Guild of America strike, that ended up lasting 100 days.

SAG representatives feel like they don't have much of a choice. Nick Counter, president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios, rejected a request from SAG president Alan Rosenberg and executive director Doug Allen Monday to get back to the bargaining table. SAG, which represents 120,000 performers, has been operating without a contract since June 30.

"We are disappointed to hear that the employers and their AMPTP representatives are refusing to engage in the process necessary to complete a deal," Allen said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. "We do not believe that their rejection of our reasonable request is in the best interests of our members or the industry."

A strike would require 75 percent of SAG's members to be in favor, something that some analysts talked to by the trade publication thought would be unlikely. The economy is in the tank right now, and many actors are still trying to recover from the writers strike, and the loss of work that created last year.
