▼ 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.

Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at <a href="http://urbanpickzone.shop" />urbanpickzone</a> extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at <a href="http://fastgoodscorner.shop" />fastgoodscorner</a> confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.
Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at <a href="http://frostrivercommercegallery.shop" />frostrivercommercegallery</a> extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at <a href="http://valecovemerchantgallery.shop" />valecovemerchantgallery</a> extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at <a href="http://valuecartshop.shop" />valuecartshop</a> extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at <a href="http://cottonmeadowmarketparlor.shop" />cottonmeadowmarketparlor</a> extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at <a href="http://shopdeckmarket.shop" />shopdeckmarket</a> maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at <a href="http://windharborcommercegallery.shop" />windharborcommercegallery</a> kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at <a href="http://elitecartbazaar.shop" />elitecartbazaar</a> extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at <a href="http://goodsbasestore.shop" />goodsbasestore</a> reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at <a href="http://valuebuyfactory.shop" />valuebuyfactory</a> added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at <a href="http://elitecartstation.shop" />elitecartstation</a> added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at <a href="http://buynestshop.shop" />buynestshop</a> kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at <a href="http://stylishdealzone.shop" />stylishdealzone</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.
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at <a href="http://simplecartworld.shop" />simplecartworld</a> suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
