▼ 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.

Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at <a href="http://timberbrookvendoroutpost.shop" />timberbrookvendoroutpost</a> continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at <a href="http://roseharborcollective.shop" />roseharborcollective</a> continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at <a href="http://timberbrookvendoroutpost.shop" />timberbrookvendoroutpost</a> reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at <a href="http://copperbrookdistrict.shop" />copperbrookdistrict</a> extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at <a href="http://dawnvalleygoodsatelier.shop" />dawnvalleygoodsatelier</a> extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at <a href="http://floraridgevendorvault.shop" />floraridgevendorvault</a> produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at <a href="http://quickorchardcartemporium.shop" />quickorchardcartemporium</a> added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at <a href="http://rivermeadowoutlet.shop" />rivermeadowoutlet</a> suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at <a href="http://honeycovegoodsoutlet.shop" />honeycovegoodsoutlet</a> confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at <a href="http://honeycovegoodsoutlet.shop" />honeycovegoodsoutlet</a> gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at <a href="http://graniteharbortraders.shop" />graniteharbortraders</a> extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
