▼ 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.

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://alpinecoveartisanexchange.shop" />alpinecoveartisanexchange</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.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at <a href="http://autumncoveretailstudio.shop" />autumncoveretailstudio</a> confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://plumharborcraftmarketplace.shop" />plumharborcraftmarketplace</a> pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at <a href="http://birchharborvendoratelier.shop" />birchharborvendoratelier</a> confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at <a href="http://caramelharborcraftemporium.shop" />caramelharborcraftemporium</a> confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at <a href="http://gingerwoodvendorcollective.shop" />gingerwoodvendorcollective</a> added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at <a href="http://moonstonegalleria.shop" />moonstonegalleria</a> extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at <a href="http://gildedgrovevendordistrict.shop" />gildedgrovevendordistrict</a> continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at <a href="http://auroraharborvendordistrict.shop" />auroraharborvendordistrict</a> only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at <a href="http://garnetharborartisantraders.shop" />garnetharborartisantraders</a> continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at <a href="http://acornharborcraftemporium.shop" />acornharborcraftemporium</a> extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at <a href="http://bayharborvendorhall.shop" />bayharborvendorhall</a> sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at <a href="http://gildedcoveretaildistrict.shop" />gildedcoveretaildistrict</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.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at <a href="http://canyonharborvendoratelier.shop" />canyonharborvendoratelier</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.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at <a href="http://rainharborvendorstudio.shop" />rainharborvendorstudio</a> only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
