George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Ben Affleck and Tyler Perry meet with SAG-AFTRA leadership to discuss why contract negotiations broke down
George Clooney was among several actors who met with SAG-AFTRA leaders on Tuesday, October 17 to discuss why contract negotiations broke down on October 11.
Clooney, Johansson, Stone, Affleck and Perry were “extremely supportive” of the union leaders who are seeking a new three-year contract for SAG-AFTRA, a source told Deadline. “They had a lot of questions, some suggestions, and a lot of good feedback,” another insider said. Additional compensation for actors has been the focus of the SAG-AFTRA negotiations which began in June. In mid-July, the union joined the Writers Guild of America and went on strike. The WGA strike, which began May 2, was settled on September 27.
Last week, SAG-AFTRA made a proposal on how cast members could benefit from the success of a series or film on streaming services. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers objected to the proposal, which it claimed would cost $800 million a year. AMPTP left the talks, along with the four CEOS, on October 11 and did not return.
