▼ 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.

Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at <a href="http://chestnutharboroutpost.shop" />chestnutharboroutpost</a> added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at <a href="http://gingerwoodcraftexchange.shop" />gingerwoodcraftexchange</a> kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at <a href="http://trailharborretailstudio.shop" />trailharborretailstudio</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.
Anyone interested in manga may <a href=https://manga-online-free.com/>mangas</a> to explore exciting plots. The selection offers action, so every reader can discover an interesting title. Fresh releases make it easy to continue reading
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at <a href="http://bayharborartisanemporium.shop" />bayharborartisanemporium</a> extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at <a href="http://uplandtrailartisanmart.shop" />uplandtrailartisanmart</a> extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at <a href="http://coastharboroutpost.shop" />coastharboroutpost</a> continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at <a href="http://autumnmeadowcraftexchange.shop" />autumnmeadowcraftexchange</a> added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at <a href="http://calmharborcraftcollective.shop" />calmharborcraftcollective</a> extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at <a href="http://quickharborartisancollective.shop" />quickharborartisancollective</a> confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at <a href="http://brightharborcraftexchange.shop" />brightharborcraftexchange</a> reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at <a href="http://cloudharbortrading.shop" />cloudharbortrading</a> extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at <a href="http://rovqino.shop" />rovqino</a> extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at <a href="http://canyonharborartisanmarket.shop" />canyonharborartisanmarket</a> kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at <a href="http://calmcovetaildistrict.shop" />calmcovetaildistrict</a> suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.
