▼ 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 quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at <a href="http://twilightmeadowgoods.shop" />twilightmeadowgoods</a> extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at <a href="http://crystalfernstore.shop" />crystalfernstore</a> extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at <a href="http://cartzonestore.shop" />cartzonestore</a> also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at <a href="http://goldencreststore.shop" />goldencreststore</a> confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at <a href="http://urbanpetalstore.shop" />urbanpetalstore</a> added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after <a href="http://aurorastreetgoods.shop" />aurorastreetgoods</a> I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at <a href="http://twilightoakstore.shop" />twilightoakstore</a> showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at <a href="http://radiantgrovegods.shop" />radiantgrovegods</a> earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at <a href="http://ambercrestmarket.shop" />ambercrestmarket</a> continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at <a href="http://mysticbaystore.shop" />mysticbaystore</a> extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at <a href="http://hekblade.shop" />hekblade</a> reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at <a href="http://goldenpetalmarket.shop" />goldenpetalmarket</a> extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at <a href="http://onlineshoppingcorner.shop" />onlineshoppingcorner</a> extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at <a href="http://azuregrovecrafts.shop" />azuregrovecrafts</a> kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at <a href="http://urbanharborcollective.shop" />urbanharborcollective</a> continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
