"George Clooney's $150 Million Proposal Fails to End Actors Strike"

George Clooney and other A-list actors propose eliminating the $1 million cap on union membership dues to contribute more towards the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union, potentially bringing in over $150 million over the next three years. The funds would be used to provide health benefits for members. However, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher clarified that the offer does not impact the contract being struck over, as only employer contributions can go into the pension and health plans. The proposal also suggests reformulating how actors earn streaming residuals.

"George Clooney and Hollywood Stars Step Up with $150 Million to End Actors' Strike"

George Clooney and other A-list actors have proposed removing the $1 million cap on membership dues to help resolve the ongoing actors' strike. The proposal aims to bridge the gap in contract negotiations with major studios and increase funding for health benefits. However, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher explained that legally, only employer contributions can go into the pension and health funds. The studios walked away from talks with the union last week, and negotiations are currently suspended.

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.

DeSantis signs education bills, including 'Teacher Bill of Rights,' in Miami.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a "Teachers' Bill of Rights" and a bill approving $1.05 billion for teacher pay increases, which he said was a record for the state. He also signed legislation that would prohibit teachers’ unions from deducting dues directly from employee paychecks, imposes term limits on school board members from 12 to eight years and gives teachers the authority to establish rules on cell phone use in the classroom. The event comes less than a week after U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona visited Miami and criticized some of the politics surrounding education in Florida.
