Cast members from shows like Better Call Saul and New Girl have begun auctioning off amazing prizes to help crew members as the Hollywood strikes continue. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA are still on strike against AMPTP member studios, demanding higher wages, streaming residuals, writers’ rooms and regulation of artificial intelligence in the film and television industry. At the time of writing, the writers’ strike has lasted 135 days, and the actors’ strike began 61 days ago.
Now stars from shows like Better Call Saul and New Girl have taken to eBay, auctioning off amazing prizes as part of the Union Solidarity Coalition. Prizes include dinners with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, a Zoom call with Manifest stars Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh, and a Zoom meeting with the main cast of New Girl. All proceeds from the auction will go towards a health fund for crew members whose benefits are at risk due to the length of the strikes.
An eBay auction shows that writers and actors need financial support to continue their fight against AMPTP studios. In addition to this recent auction and donations from non-union supporters, well-known actors have also contributed significantly to financial support. They include Hollywood stars who have donated $1 million or more to support the actors’ strike, including Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman.
The writers’ and actors’ strike has also had a major impact on AMPTP studios, who can no longer promote future films in the industry. This has resulted in the release dates of films such as Dune: Part Two being pushed back to March 2024 and The Contenders being pushed to April 2024. This strategy by the studios is based on the hope that the strikes will end when the strikes end. major films will be released in cinemas.
While support for the Hollywood strikes continues, the recent auction shows that both strikes could continue for a long time. Until good faith negotiations between the striking unions and the AMPTP begin to intensify, neither side appears likely to make progress. But rewards offered by the stars of Better Call Saul and New Girl could help those on strike continue to do so without worrying about their health.
