▼ 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 gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at <a href="http://lavenderharbormarkethall.shop" />lavenderharbormarkethall</a> extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at <a href="http://brightharborretailstudio.shop" />brightharborretailstudio</a> continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at <a href="http://fastcartmarket.shop" />fastcartmarket</a> continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at <a href="http://onlinecartworld.shop" />onlinecartworld</a> continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at <a href="http://easycartmarket.shop" />easycartmarket</a> held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at <a href="http://shoprisemarket.shop" />shoprisemarket</a> maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at <a href="http://openmarketshop.shop" />openmarketshop</a> reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at <a href="http://meadowharbormerchantgallery.shop" />meadowharbormerchantgallery</a> extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to <a href="http://canyonharborcommercegallery.shop" />canyonharborcommercegallery</a> I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at <a href="http://wheatmeadowcommercegallery.shop" />wheatmeadowcommercegallery</a> reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at <a href="http://berrycoveartisantraders.shop" />berrycoveartisantraders</a> extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at <a href="http://junipercovemerchantgallery.shop" />junipercovemerchantgallery</a> confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at <a href="http://graniteorchardmerchantgallery.shop" />graniteorchardmerchantgallery</a> earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://digitaldealscorner.shop" />digitaldealscorner</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.
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at <a href="http://digitalbuyershub.shop" />digitalbuyershub</a> sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
