▼ 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.

Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at <a href="http://queenmanor.shop" />queenmanor</a> also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to <a href="http://lilacneon.shop" />lilacneon</a> maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at <a href="http://vanqiro.shop" />vanqiro</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.
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at <a href="http://mivqaro.shop" />mivqaro</a> reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at <a href="http://piscesmyrtle.shop" />piscesmyrtle</a> kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at <a href="http://clockbrace.shop" />clockbrace</a> earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at <a href="http://nuartlion.shop" />nuartlion</a> suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at <a href="http://jasperbrookmarketfoundry.shop" />jasperbrookmarketfoundry</a> continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at <a href="http://leafpatio.shop" />leafpatio</a> added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at <a href="http://vanlizo.shop" />vanlizo</a> extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at <a href="http://minqaro.shop" />minqaro</a> kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at <a href="http://gladeridgeboutiquehall.shop" />gladeridgeboutiquehall</a> confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at <a href="http://pippierce.shop" />pippierce</a> continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at <a href="http://mirthlinnet.shop" />mirthlinnet</a> did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
