▼ 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.

Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at <a href="http://valuemarkethub.shop" />valuemarkethub</a> stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.
Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at <a href="http://freshcartarena.shop" />freshcartarena</a> extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at <a href="http://dawnmeadowcommercegallery.shop" />dawnmeadowcommercegallery</a> continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at <a href="http://mintorchardmerchantgallery.shop" />mintorchardmerchantgallery</a> extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at <a href="http://goodspointstore.shop" />goodspointstore</a> confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at <a href="http://shopportstore.shop" />shopportstore</a> extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to <a href="http://goldenbuycenter.shop" />goldenbuycenter</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.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at <a href="http://cartplacestore.shop" />cartplacestore</a> also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at <a href="http://simplecartshop.shop" />simplecartshop</a> reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed <a href="http://rubyorchardtradehall.shop" />rubyorchardtradehall</a> I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at <a href="http://apricotharborcraftmarketplace.shop" />apricotharborcraftmarketplace</a> maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
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.
