▼ 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 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.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at <a href="http://shoptreemarket.shop" />shoptreemarket</a> similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at <a href="http://velvetbrookmerchantgallery.shop" />velvetbrookmerchantgallery</a> only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to <a href="http://digitalpickmarket.shop" />digitalpickmarket</a> confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to <a href="http://cheapproductsonline.shop" />cheapproductsonline</a> kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at <a href="http://cartivoa.shop" />cartivoa</a> kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at <a href="http://simpleshoppinghub.shop" />simpleshoppinghub</a> kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://buybaseshop.shop" />buybaseshop</a> extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at <a href="http://jaspermeadowtradegallery.shop" />jaspermeadowtradegallery</a> maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at <a href="http://autumncoveartisanexchange.shop" />autumncoveartisanexchange</a> produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at <a href="http://premiumcartcorner.shop" />premiumcartcorner</a> reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at <a href="http://gadgetdealsonline.shop" />gadgetdealsonline</a> pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.
Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at <a href="http://nextgenpickhub.shop" />nextgenpickhub</a> confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
