ST's MCU out of stock and rising prices

From the sound of "out of stock and rising prices" in the component market, we can see that the global supply chain has not recovered from the impact of the epidemic. According to the results of Q3 purchasing survey of Electronics Supply and Manufacturing-China this year, the shortage of MCU is still not optimistic since Q2. However, Electronics Supply and Manufacturing-China learned from foreign media that ST's decision not to raise wages has raised doubts from local trade union groups. Three major ST trade unions, CAD, CFDT and CGT, have launched a strike in all ST factories in France on Thursday (May 5). Some operators are worried that MCU out of stock and price rise will aggravate again.
