Hollywood’s strikes are over – The Verge
George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, and other stars offer to pay higher dues to help end the actors strike.
The group of stars, which also includes Emma Stone, Ben Affleck, and Tyler Perry, met with the leaders of SAG-AFTRA this week, proposing the removal of the $1 million cap on membership dues, Deadline reports.
Clooney tells Deadline that would result in over $50 million paid to the union every year, which could go toward improving health care benefits:
A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution. We’ve offered to remove the cap on dues, which would bring over $50 million to the union annually. Well over $150 million over the next three years.
