The proposal apparently didn't go over particularly well with the union's negotiating committee
A bunch of rich and famous Hollywood stars have come up with a way to keep negotiations moving on the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, and it doesn’t involve them joining the picket lines or using their immense power and influence at all. Instead, it involves them doing the easiest thing a rich and famous person can do: writing a check.
Clooney said that this is a way to “show that we’re all in this together” and that rich people like him want to “find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid.” Deadline insists that this is “admirable” and is bullish on this being a way forward for the union and the AMPTP, but again, it is weird to offer up this strategy rather than Clooney throwing this money into funds for people impacted by the strike or showing up on the picket lines with a pizza and bottles of Casamigos.
