Lena Dunham, Adam Scott and other stars auction services to help Hollywood workers during strike

Adam Scott will walk your dog.

Adam Scott will walk your dog. The cast of "Bob’s Burgers" will write and sing you a song. And Natasha Lyonne will help you figure out the New York Times crossword puzzle.

These are among the quirky experiences being offered on eBay as part of an auction created in an effort to support ongoing labor movements within the entertainment industry.

The initiative comes from a group of striking Writers Guild of America (WGA) members who founded The Union Solidarity Coalition, which aims to connect industry workers across unions, even those not on strike.

“We want to acknowledge that what you’re going through right now is not easy. We know when you refuse to cross our picket line, you risk being reprimanded, losing a day’s pay (or much more) and you have to go home empty-handed,” coalition founders wrote in an open letter to crew members. “The irony of this happening during a labor movement where we’re advocating for everyone’s work to be valued and compensated fairly is infuriating to us.”

Proceeds from the winning bids will be funneled into a mutual aid fund for crew members who’ve lost their health insurance because of the loss of work from the writers’ strike.
