▼ 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.

Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at <a href="http://allgoodsonline.shop" />allgoodsonline</a> drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at <a href="http://chestnutharbortradeparlor.shop" />chestnutharbortradeparlor</a> extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at <a href="http://cloudcovemerchantgallery.shop" />cloudcovemerchantgallery</a> extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at <a href="http://directshopping.shop" />directshopping</a> reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://livingstyleshop.shop" />livingstyleshop</a> continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at <a href="http://discountshoppinghub.shop" />discountshoppinghub</a> produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at <a href="http://buyportshop.shop" />buyportshop</a> continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at <a href="http://oakcovemerchantgallery.shop" />oakcovemerchantgallery</a> continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at <a href="http://torlumo.shop" />torlumo</a> reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after <a href="http://brightharbormerchantgallery.shop" />brightharbormerchantgallery</a> I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at <a href="http://quickridgecommercegallery.shop" />quickridgecommercegallery</a> kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through <a href="http://lanternorchardvendorhall.shop" />lanternorchardvendorhall</a> only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at <a href="http://gingercoveartisanmarketplace.shop" />gingercoveartisanmarketplace</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.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at <a href="http://easypickgoods.shop" />easypickgoods</a> continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at <a href="http://gildedcovemerchantgallery.shop" />gildedcovemerchantgallery</a> produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
