▼ 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.

Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at <a href="http://linenmeadowcommercegallery.shop" />linenmeadowcommercegallery</a> confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to <a href="http://neontrendbazaar.shop" />neontrendbazaar</a> only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at <a href="http://marketchoiceshop.shop" />marketchoiceshop</a> maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at <a href="http://goodspeakstore.shop" />goodspeakstore</a> pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.
Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at <a href="http://openbuyersmarket.shop" />openbuyersmarket</a> continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at <a href="http://chestnutharborcommercegallery.shop" />chestnutharborcommercegallery</a> confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at <a href="http://smartbuyinghub.shop" />smartbuyinghub</a> extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at <a href="http://kettlecrestmerchantgallery.shop" />kettlecrestmerchantgallery</a> held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at <a href="http://stylishtrendcorner.shop" />stylishtrendcorner</a> extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.
Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at <a href="http://stylewearonline.shop" />stylewearonline</a> only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.
Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at <a href="http://instantbuyersmarket.shop" />instantbuyersmarket</a> extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at <a href="http://stoneharborcommercegallery.shop" />stoneharborcommercegallery</a> kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at <a href="http://alpineharborcommercegallery.shop" />alpineharborcommercegallery</a> kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at <a href="http://plumcovemerchantgallery.shop" />plumcovemerchantgallery</a> maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at <a href="http://goodsforallstore.shop" />goodsforallstore</a> maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.
