Yesterday a group of big Hollywood stars including George Clooney, Emma Stone, Ben Affleck, Tyler Perry and Scarlett Johansson met with SAG-AFTRA
their proposal: raise the SAG membership dues (right now capped at $1 Million) for the big earners to bring in more money for the union
Clooney:
‘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. We think it’s fair for us to pay more into the Union. We also are suggesting a bottom up residual structure. Meaning the top of the call sheet would be the last to collect residuals not the first. These negotiations will be ongoing but we wanted to show that we’re all in this together and find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid.”
