▼ 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.

Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at <a href="http://makernavy.shop" />makernavy</a> suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at <a href="http://clingclasp.shop" />clingclasp</a> reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at <a href="http://lomqiro.shop" />lomqiro</a> reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at <a href="http://urbanrivo.shop" />urbanrivo</a> did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at <a href="http://zevarko.shop" />zevarko</a> kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at <a href="http://jewelbrookmarketatelier.shop" />jewelbrookmarketatelier</a> extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at <a href="http://quickgladecartemporium.shop" />quickgladecartemporium</a> only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at <a href="http://wavecovecommerceatelier.shop" />wavecovecommerceatelier</a> confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at <a href="http://lushpassion.shop" />lushpassion</a> earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at <a href="http://ardenburst.shop" />ardenburst</a> extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at <a href="http://tavqino.shop" />tavqino</a> prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at <a href="http://dealzaro.shop" />dealzaro</a> got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.
Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at <a href="http://dawnbrookgoodsatelier.shop" />dawnbrookgoodsatelier</a> extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at <a href="http://zarqiro.shop" />zarqiro</a> continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at <a href="http://lullpebble.shop" />lullpebble</a> kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.
