▼ 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.

Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through <a href="http://berryharborvendormarket.shop" />berryharborvendormarket</a> I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at <a href="http://totalshopplace.shop" />totalshopplace</a> extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
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://shoplinkmarket.shop" />shoplinkmarket</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.
On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at <a href="http://premiumpickzone.shop" />premiumpickzone</a> continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at <a href="http://buycoreshop.shop" />buycoreshop</a> continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at <a href="http://dailyneedsstore.shop" />dailyneedsstore</a> extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at <a href="http://trustedbuyinghub.shop" />trustedbuyinghub</a> extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at <a href="http://goodschoicehub.shop" />goodschoicehub</a> maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at <a href="http://nextgenstorefront.shop" />nextgenstorefront</a> kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at <a href="http://floraridgemerchantgallery.shop" />floraridgemerchantgallery</a> provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at <a href="http://goldenpickzone.shop" />goldenpickzone</a> the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at <a href="http://qualitybuyworld.shop" />qualitybuyworld</a> continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at <a href="http://birchharbormerchantgallery.shop" />birchharbormerchantgallery</a> extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through <a href="http://goodsparkstore.shop" />goodsparkstore</a> only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at <a href="http://shoptrailmarket.shop" />shoptrailmarket</a> kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.
