▼ 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.

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.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at <a href="http://riverharborcommercegallery.shop" />riverharborcommercegallery</a> earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at <a href="http://bettershoppinghub.shop" />bettershoppinghub</a> confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at <a href="http://onlinedealspoint.shop" />onlinedealspoint</a> prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at <a href="http://everydaycartstore.shop" />everydaycartstore</a> extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at <a href="http://shopwavemarket.shop" />shopwavemarket</a> extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at <a href="http://caramelharborvendordistrict.shop" />caramelharborvendordistrict</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.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to <a href="http://coralharbormerchantgallery.shop" />coralharbormerchantgallery</a> kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at <a href="http://driftwillowcommercegallery.shop" />driftwillowcommercegallery</a> kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at <a href="http://kettleharbormarketgallery.shop" />kettleharbormarketgallery</a> earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after <a href="http://garnetharbormerchantgallery.shop" />garnetharbormerchantgallery</a> I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at <a href="http://zenharborcommercegallery.shop" />zenharborcommercegallery</a> confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
