George Clooney's $150M Proposal to End SAG-AFTRA Strike Faces Resistance

TL;DR Summary
A proposal by George Clooney and other A-list actors to end the SAG-AFTRA strike has been rejected by the union's negotiating committee. The proposal included a dues increase on high-earning actors and a change in residuals to prioritize low-earning actors. However, the proposal failed to address the main issues of the strike, such as a share of streaming revenue, increased minimums, and regulations on artificial intelligence. The union argues that the proposal weakens unity and suggests that high-earning actors should cover costs that studios refuse to pay.
