▼ Honda, Nissan Furlough U.S. Workers As Auto Demand Plummets

  • Category:Other

TOKYO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. on Tuesday said they had furloughed thousands of workers at their U.S. operations as the coronavirus pandemic slashes demand for cars in the country.

A spokesman for Honda, which employs about 18,400 workers at plants in Alabama, Indiana and Ohio, said the Japanese automaker would guarantee salaries through Sunday, having suspended operations on March 23. The plants will be closed through May 1.

Nissan said it was temporarily laying off about 10,000 U.S. hourly workers effective April 6. It has suspended operations at its U.S. manufacturing facilities through late April due to the impact of the outbreak.

Operations at Honda’s Powersports plant in South Carolina, which makes all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), have been suspended since March 26.

Automakers are facing a dramatic drop in sales in the United States, the world’s second-largest car market, after some states barred dealers from selling new cars while “stay-at-home” orders are in place. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Monday extended its shutdown of U.S. and Canadian plants until May 4.

Toyota Motor Corp has halted its U.S. and Canadian production through April 17. A Toyota spokesman said it has not furloughed full-time U.S. employees.

A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at <a href="http://amberridgevendorparlor.shop" />amberridgevendorparlor</a> maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at <a href="http://elitebuyarena.shop" />elitebuyarena</a> adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at <a href="http://buysmartplace.shop" />buysmartplace</a> kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at <a href="http://qavlizo.shop" />qavlizo</a> only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at <a href="http://auroracoveartisanbazaar.shop" />auroracoveartisanbazaar</a> reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.
Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at <a href="http://linencovemerchantgallery.shop" />linencovemerchantgallery</a> reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at <a href="http://velvetgrovevendorgallery.shop" />velvetgrovevendorgallery</a> continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at <a href="http://premiumdealcorner.shop" />premiumdealcorner</a> extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at <a href="http://goodslinehub.shop" />goodslinehub</a> maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at <a href="http://shoppeakmarket.shop" />shoppeakmarket</a> hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at <a href="http://easybuyingzone.shop" />easybuyingzone</a> extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after <a href="http://tealharborcommercegallery.shop" />tealharborcommercegallery</a> I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at <a href="http://clevertrendmart.shop" />clevertrendmart</a> extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at <a href="http://trendinggoodszone.shop" />trendinggoodszone</a> kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
