▼ 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.

Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at <a href="http://autumnmeadowcommercegallery.shop" />autumnmeadowcommercegallery</a> kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to <a href="http://goodsaxisstore.shop" />goodsaxisstore</a> continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at <a href="http://shopwidestore.shop" />shopwidestore</a> confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at <a href="http://apricotharborretailstudio.shop" />apricotharborretailstudio</a> produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at <a href="http://quickridgemarketgallery.shop" />quickridgemarketgallery</a> extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at <a href="http://gildedgrovegoodsgallery.shop" />gildedgrovegoodsgallery</a> extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at <a href="http://roseharborcommercegallery.shop" />roseharborcommercegallery</a> kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at <a href="http://frostridgeretailatelier.shop" />frostridgeretailatelier</a> extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at <a href="http://goodsflexstore.shop" />goodsflexstore</a> confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at <a href="http://kitchentoolsshop.shop" />kitchentoolsshop</a> reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability 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://garnetharborcommercegallery.shop" />garnetharborcommercegallery</a> only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at <a href="http://shopdockmarket.shop" />shopdockmarket</a> only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at <a href="http://mossharbormerchantgallery.shop" />mossharbormerchantgallery</a> extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at <a href="http://rubymeadowcommercegallery.shop" />rubymeadowcommercegallery</a> extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at <a href="http://iciclebrookcommercegallery.shop" />iciclebrookcommercegallery</a> kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
