SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher is saying that George Clooney’s proposal to help end the actors strike will not impact the contract they’re currently striking over. Earlier this week, Clooney and a group of other A-list actors met with SAG-AFTRA’s leadership with a proposal to remove the cap on membership dues for high-earning members to help bridge the gap between what SAG-AFTRA is seeking in 2023 negotiations and what the studios and streamers are willing to give, meaning that major stars like Clooney would pay more in dues than is currently required (the cap is currently at $1 million in earnings). The proposal also seeks to get lower-income members paid in residuals before higher-income members.
