▼ 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.

Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at <a href="http://nextlevelcart.shop" />nextlevelcart</a> kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader's time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at <a href="http://woodharborvendorparlor.shop" />woodharborvendorparlor</a> produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at <a href="http://premiumgoodsarena.shop" />premiumgoodsarena</a> extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at <a href="http://openshoppingcorner.shop" />openshoppingcorner</a> reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://bayharborretailstudio.shop" />bayharborretailstudio</a> pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at <a href="http://stylishgoodscenter.shop" />stylishgoodscenter</a> added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at <a href="http://buyedgeshop.shop" />buyedgeshop</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.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at <a href="http://trendrova.shop" />trendrova</a> only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at <a href="http://jewelcovecommercegallery.shop" />jewelcovecommercegallery</a> kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at <a href="http://fastcartsolutions.shop" />fastcartsolutions</a> kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at <a href="http://clovercrestmarketparlor.shop" />clovercrestmarketparlor</a> extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at <a href="http://smartbuyersmarket.shop" />smartbuyersmarket</a> maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at <a href="http://trendygoodscenter.shop" />trendygoodscenter</a> kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at <a href="http://digitaltrendstation.shop" />digitaltrendstation</a> kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at <a href="http://bettercarthub.shop" />bettercarthub</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.
