George Clooney is among the high-profile stars throwing support behind the Hollywood writers and actors currently on strike
as part of the strike, acknowledged the implications of shutting down the industry and the impact it will have on workers everywhere. However, he said, “If our leadership is saying that the deal isn’t fair, then we gotta hold strong until we get a deal that’s fair for working actors. It’s the difference between having healthcare and not for a lot of actors, and we gotta do what’s right by them.
As Damon and Clooney both noted, it’s not the stars in their tax bracket who most need to be protected by union action. It’s the everyday working actors who make up the majority of SAG-AFTRA who are at greater risk of the existential threats of a changing industry.
