Celebrities are auctioning off their time to the highest bidder on eBay doing menial tasks like walking your dog or taking a pottery class with you to raise money to support the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that seem to see no end as the fall television season approaches. (Salon's unionized employees are represented by the WGA East.)
The Union Solidarity Coalition is an organization created by writers and directors this year in support of the industry-wide strikes. The organization is made of industry people "who were moved to connect with crew affected by the 2023 WGA strike."
