Fran Drescher and George Clooney Clash Over SAG-AFTRA Dues Cap Proposal

SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher responded to George Clooney and other A-List actors' proposal to lift the union dues cap, stating that it would not be legally compatible with the union's contract. Drescher explained that only employer contributions are allowed in the pension and health funds, and the proposal does not address the issues the union is striking over. She also mentioned that a suggestion to address residuals was deemed legally unfeasible. Drescher emphasized the need for the CEOs to return to the negotiation table for talks to continue.
