Major actors like George Clooney and Tyler Perry have suggested compromises to try to resolve the months-long Hollywood strike, meeting with union leadership to find solutions.
Their proposal includes removing a $1 million membership dues cap so top earners contribute more, significantly increasing funding for the SAG-A FTRA union’s health benefits.

Clooney, Perry, Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson and Ben Affleck were among the stars conferring with union heads. Clooney said the goal is ending the strike, with top talent willing to pay their share.
By removing the dues ceiling, over $50 million more could flow annually to the union, topping $150 million over three years. The stars say this added funding from their earnings is fair.

Actors also suggested a new residual structure prioritizing lower-paid performers over top stars. The talks are ongoing but display actors’ unity and commitment to compromise.
The proposals follow studios walking away from negotiations last week over revenue sharing and AI policies. The strike began in July as both sides remained far apart.
With high-profile actors now engaging to find solutions, momentum could build toward a deal. Their willingness to make concessions may pressure studios to rethink rigid stances for a resolution.
The display of A-list solidarity also sends a powerful message that all performers stand together. This could be a pivotal moment toward finally ending the protracted dispute.
