After more than 90 days since the Hollywood actors’ strike began, the conflict seems to be more alive than ever. After a few very intense weeks, a few days ago it came to light that the negotiations between the studios and the artists had gone on standby, since they could not agree on the monetary issue.

The Alliance of Film and TV Producers (AMPTP) made its position public and recognized that there is currently a more than evident difference between its position and the ‘ambitious’ claims of SAG-AFTRA, something that made countless people very uncomfortable. actors and actresses from all over the world.

One of the main aims of the strike is the creation of a new formula for the payment of residuals corresponding to streaming productions, since there are projects that become viral over time or that last for years on these platforms and the protagonists do not suffer. no type of added profit.

According to some platforms such as Variety, the union would be demanding the implementation of an annual fund of 500 million dollars, while the studios remain fixed on their offer of 20 million per year.

To try to solve the situation, the acclaimed actor George Clooney (along with other profiles of the profession) has presented a more than interesting measure to the union: eliminate the quota limit for members with high incomes and thus inject more funds into the coffers of the union. union over the course of a few years.

This idea seeks to get big figures in the film industry such as the actor from The Perfect Storm or Tomorrowland to pay more in installments than is currently required (the limit right now is $1 million in earnings) and thus help reduce the difference between the union’s claims and the offer of studies. Although it seems like a measure that is impossible to reject, some have criticized it, since it does not solve the root problem or help businessmen give in.

Some users on social networks have simplified the proposal and compared Clooney to Robin Hood, since he intends for Hollywood stars to be responsible for greater expenses and lower profits so that some of their professional colleagues can live with dignity. Additionally, the proposal also seeks to have low-income members paid in waste before higher-income members.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney and his colleagues informed national executive director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland and president Fran Drescher of the proposal and they had already transferred it to their negotiating committee.
