Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.
That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.
SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

Thanks, didn’t know that
I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things
