▼ 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.

Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at <a href="http://shopcoremarket.shop" />shopcoremarket</a> extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.
Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at <a href="http://buytrendshop.shop" />buytrendshop</a> continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at <a href="http://goodsstepstore.shop" />goodsstepstore</a> extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at <a href="http://goodstreestore.shop" />goodstreestore</a> extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at <a href="http://buylinkshop.shop" />buylinkshop</a> extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to <a href="http://silkgrovevendorgallery.shop" />silkgrovevendorgallery</a> I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at <a href="http://lemonridgecommercegallery.shop" />lemonridgecommercegallery</a> reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at <a href="http://tealharborvendorparlor.shop" />tealharborvendorparlor</a> confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to <a href="http://frostridgeartisanoutlet.shop" />frostridgeartisanoutlet</a> continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at <a href="http://pebblecreekcommercegallery.shop" />pebblecreekcommercegallery</a> extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at <a href="http://infinitygoodscorner.shop" />infinitygoodscorner</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.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at <a href="http://clovercrestmerchantgallery.shop" />clovercrestmerchantgallery</a> earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at <a href="http://quickbuyershub.shop" />quickbuyershub</a> kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at <a href="http://moderncartcorner.shop" />moderncartcorner</a> kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at <a href="http://shopbasemarket.shop" />shopbasemarket</a> continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
