July 19 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The cast of the television show ‘Jersey Shore’, namely JWoww, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and Vinny all refused to shoot scenes for the upcoming third season of the show unless they were given new contract which satisfied them, according to ‘TMZ’.

The cast was supposed to begin shooting the show’s third season in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, but they refused to film until they were given better deals in their contracts. ‘TMZ’ reports that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Nicole “Snooki” Polizza are set to begin filming today and it is not yet clear whether they are involved in the strike.

The cast were all due to negotiate new contracts by Friday for season three, btu none of them met the dealine. Once the date was passed and none of the cast members had renegotiated their contracts, ‘MTV’ decided to go with the cast’s original contracts, which pays them $10,000 for each episode.

The cast was ordered to come back to work today (Monday) or else legal action would be taken, according to a source.
