▼ 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.

Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at <a href="http://lotusosprey.shop" />lotusosprey</a> kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at <a href="http://caramelcoveoutpost.shop" />caramelcoveoutpost</a> extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Read the entire story <a href=https://montenegro-company-registration.com/>company in montenegro</a>
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at <a href="http://mossharborgoodsstore.shop" />mossharborgoodsstore</a> confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at <a href="http://auroraharborcommercehub.shop" />auroraharborcommercehub</a> added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at <a href="http://frostrivercraftoutlet.shop" />frostrivercraftoutlet</a> continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
Readers manga titles may <a href=https://manga-online-free.com/>unblocked manga</a> and discover favorite stories. The library features action, allowing every reader can find a suitable story. Latest episodes help readers discover what happens next
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at <a href="http://gladeharborgoodsplace.shop" />gladeharborgoodsplace</a> continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at <a href="http://harborlakefrontboutiquehub.shop" />harborlakefrontboutiquehub</a> extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at <a href="http://oakmeadowmarketplace.shop" />oakmeadowmarketplace</a> continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at <a href="http://beltbrunch.shop" />beltbrunch</a> the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at <a href="http://torzino.shop" />torzino</a> kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at <a href="http://loudmark.shop" />loudmark</a> kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at <a href="http://gingercovevendorworks.shop" />gingercovevendorworks</a> extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at <a href="http://valeridgevendorhall.shop" />valeridgevendorhall</a> continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
