▼ 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.

Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at <a href="http://buystackshop.shop" />buystackshop</a> reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at <a href="http://shopgridmarket.shop" />shopgridmarket</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.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at <a href="http://daisyharborvendorparlor.shop" />daisyharborvendorparlor</a> continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at <a href="http://coastharborcommercegallery.shop" />coastharborcommercegallery</a> added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at <a href="http://glassharbormerchantgallery.shop" />glassharbormerchantgallery</a> hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at <a href="http://creekharbormerchantgallery.shop" />creekharbormerchantgallery</a> suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at <a href="http://solarorchardmerchantgallery.shop" />solarorchardmerchantgallery</a> added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at <a href="http://dawnridgemerchantgallery.shop" />dawnridgemerchantgallery</a> kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at <a href="http://timbertrailmarketgallery.shop" />timbertrailmarketgallery</a> kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at <a href="http://silverharborcommercegallery.shop" />silverharborcommercegallery</a> added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at <a href="http://tirlumo.shop" />tirlumo</a> extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to <a href="http://pearlharborvendorhall.shop" />pearlharborvendorhall</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.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at <a href="http://calmharborvendorstudio.shop" />calmharborvendorstudio</a> added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at <a href="http://gingerwoodvendorcollective.shop" />gingerwoodvendorcollective</a> provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at <a href="http://gildedgrovevendordistrict.shop" />gildedgrovevendordistrict</a> added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.
