George Clooney, along with other Hollywood A-listers, has offered $150 million to the SAG-AFTRA actors union in an effort to end the ongoing strike, which is nearing its 100th day. The proposal, made during a meeting with SAG-AFTRA leaders, aims to bring the strike to a resolution and get everyone back to work. However, the union explains that contributions to pension and health funds must come from employers, highlighting the need for benefits to be addressed in the contract negotiations. The strike has garnered support from various industry unions, including IATSE and Teamsters, who have joined SAG-AFTRA on the picket line to show solidarity. Netflix, one of the major players in the industry, has been involved in talks but no progress has been made so far. The strike has had a significant impact on the entertainment industry, with interim agreements reached for some movies and TV series, including Meg Ryan's upcoming rom-com 'What Happens Later'. The proposal from Clooney and other A-listers is seen as a gesture of goodwill, but the negotiations continue as both sides work towards resolving the strike.
