Fed's Kugler Says We're At A Place Where We Don't Want Labor Market To Weaken Further; Makes Since To Shift Attn To Employment Mandate

The Screen Actors Guild &#8211; American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has announced a strike against League of Legends after accusing Formosa Interactive of attempting to undermine the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gaming-industry">video game industry strike. </a>
<a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sag-aftra-calls-strike-against-league-of-legends-files-unfair-labour-practice-against-formosa">According </a>to GamesIndustry.biz, The union, which represents actors in film, television, and video games, filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Formosa.

In a statement, SAG-AFTRA claimed that Formosa Interactive, which provides art and audio services to top-tier game studios, violated labor laws by secretly shifting work related to a struck video game to non-union performers. 
The union expressed that this action was "a flagrant violation of labor law" and that it directly interfered with performers&#8217; rights to unionize and participate in collective bargaining.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Union Claims Formosa Tried To Evade Strike Restrictions</h3>
The accusations emerged after Formosa allegedly attempted to "cancel" a video game that was part of the strike, later transferring the project to a shell company to avoid union restrictions. 
The union's national executive director and chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, condemned the company's actions:
"To commit illegal unfair labor practices is beyond the pale and won't be tolerated by SAG-AFTRA members. Formosa will be held accountable, starting with an immediate strike of League of Legends."
Crabtree-Ireland said that Formosa&#8217;s actions were not only an attempt to sidestep union labor protections but also a reflection of ongoing resistance by companies to adopt AI-related terms similar to those already embraced by the film, television, and music industries.
SAG-AFTRA had previously voted to strike after failing to reach an agreement with gaming companies over AI protections and performers' working conditions. As the strike continues, the union has secured agreements with over 80 game developers, but the dispute with Formosa Interactive is one of the most significant challenges it has faced.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Riot Games Responds: &#8220;League Of Legends Is Not Involved&#8221;</h3>
In the wake of the accusations, Riot Games has responded, denying any involvement in the allegations made by SAG-AFTRA. In a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz, Riot clarified that League of Legends has no connection to the events mentioned in the union's press release.
"League of Legends has nothing to do with the complaint mentioned in SAG-AFTRA's press release. We want to be clear: Since becoming a union project five years ago, League of Legends has only asked Formosa to engage with Union performers in the US and has never once suggested doing otherwise."
Riot further distanced itself from the controversy, explaining that the allegations pertain to a different game and are unrelated to any of its projects:
"We've never asked Formosa to cancel a game that we've registered. All the allegations in SAG-AFTRA's press release relating to canceling a game or hiring non-union talent relate to a non-Riot game, and have nothing to do with League or any of our games."

Meta is spending billions of dollars to purchase Nvidia's GPUs, which are seen as the gold standard in the AI and AR industries. Huang, who is now worth more than $100 billion according to Forbes, appears in a video wearing the Orion glasses.

For Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the Orion glasses have been a long time coming. Zuckerberg, who through Meta has invested billions of dollars in developing the Metaverse and other AR technologies, first had the vision for Orion 10 years ago. "About a decade ago, I started putting together a team of the best people in the world to build these glasses," Zuckerberg said. "The requirements are actually pretty simple but the technological challenges to make them are insane." 
Zuckerberg seemed to take a subliminal shot at Apple and its AR headset, the Vision Pro, saying that "they need to be glasses, not a headset" when speaking about Orion.

Media company Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) could benefit from its focus on sports and politics, with the Super Bowl LIX broadcast and 2024 election acting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">as major catalysts. </a>
The Fox Analyst: Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich reiterated a Buy rating on Fox and raised the price target from $45 to $50.

The Analyst Takeaways: Sports, news, and politics are likely to help Fox in the first fiscal quarter and future quarters, Ehrlich said in an investor note Wednesday.
"Fox's portfolio of sports and news has positioned the company well to weather secular headwinds in linear relative to peers," Ehrlich said.
The analyst said the 2024 election is helping Fox see strong growth in advertising and viewership trends.
"Political should pick up in F2Q. Last presidential cycle, Fox local TV stations did $230mn in political advertising and are on track to exceed this '24."
Fox will also air Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in the third quarter, the analyst added.
"Indications are that Super Bowl demand is extremely strong and inventory is almost sold out."
As a reminder, Fox is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38625265/heres-how-much-a-super-bowl-lix-commercial-will-cost-how-fox-corporation-stock-could-benefi">seeking $7 million</a> for each 30-second advertisement during Super Bowl LIX.
NFL viewership through the first two weeks of the 2024 season averages 19.7 viewers, up 12% year-over-year. Fox had the third most-watched NFL game during the first two weeks, with Week 1's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns watched by an average of 23.9 million viewers.
The analyst said Fox has the lowest exposure to entertainment advertising, with a strong presence across sports and news.
The analyst said linear trends continuing to weaken could cause Fox to migrate content to streaming. With a joint venture facing litigation, Fox could have to consider other options, including a standalone direct-to-consumer product for sports and news.
FOX Price Action: Fox stock trades at $38.44 versus a 52-week trading range of $25.82 to $39.00. Fox stock is up 36.5% year-to-date in 2024.
