▼ 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.

Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to <a href="http://sageharborvendorparlor.shop" />sageharborvendorparlor</a> I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
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://urbancartarena.shop" />urbancartarena</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.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://goodslineshop.shop" />goodslineshop</a> added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at <a href="http://goodsroutestore.shop" />goodsroutestore</a> extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at <a href="http://dunemeadowvendorparlor.shop" />dunemeadowvendorparlor</a> extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at <a href="http://mossharborcommercegallery.shop" />mossharborcommercegallery</a> confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at <a href="http://bettershoppingchoice.shop" />bettershoppingchoice</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.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at <a href="http://fastbuycorner.shop" />fastbuycorner</a> added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
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://urbanluma.shop" />urbanluma</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.
Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at <a href="http://apricotharborartisancollective.shop" />apricotharborartisancollective</a> suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at <a href="http://directshoppinghub.shop" />directshoppinghub</a> produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at <a href="http://violetharborcommercegallery.shop" />violetharborcommercegallery</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.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at <a href="http://clevergoodszone.shop" />clevergoodszone</a> maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at <a href="http://globalgoodszone.shop" />globalgoodszone</a> similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at <a href="http://freshcartzone.shop" />freshcartzone</a> kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
