Qualcomm is adding a new processor to its Snapdragon 7 line of chips for upper mid-range devices. But it’s not a faster chip than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor that launched earlier this year.

Thousands of workers go on strike at Ford, GM, and Stellantis plants

It’s the first time UAW workers have struck at the Big Three simultaneously.

Almost 13,000 workers are on strike at three US car factories today after a midnight deadline came and went without an agreement between the United Auto Workers and Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. It's the first time in the UAW's history that it has initiated strike action at all of the Big Three domestic car companies simultaneously, as negotiations on a new contract failed.

UAW's strike action has been narrowly targeted. Although the union represents about 146,000 members, most of them are staying at their jobs. But 5,800 Stellantis workers at the company's Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio, are now on strike, as are 3,600 GM workers at a plant in Wentzville, Missouri, plus 3,300 at Ford's factory in Wayne, Michigan.

The union and automakers had been trying to reach a compromise before the 4-year-old contract between them expired on Thursday night. Among other things, the union has been looking to end the tiered pay structure in the industry where new hires into a job earn less. It is also seeking the restoration of cost-of-living increases and an end to automakers subverting union jobs with temporary workers.
