▼ 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.

However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at <a href="http://stylishgoodscenter.shop" />stylishgoodscenter</a> added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at <a href="http://buyedgeshop.shop" />buyedgeshop</a> suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at <a href="http://trendrova.shop" />trendrova</a> only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at <a href="http://jewelcovecommercegallery.shop" />jewelcovecommercegallery</a> kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at <a href="http://fastcartsolutions.shop" />fastcartsolutions</a> kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at <a href="http://clovercrestmarketparlor.shop" />clovercrestmarketparlor</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.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at <a href="http://smartbuyersmarket.shop" />smartbuyersmarket</a> maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at <a href="http://trendygoodscenter.shop" />trendygoodscenter</a> kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at <a href="http://digitaltrendstation.shop" />digitaltrendstation</a> kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at <a href="http://bettercarthub.shop" />bettercarthub</a> extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at <a href="http://shoptreemarket.shop" />shoptreemarket</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.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at <a href="http://velvetbrookmerchantgallery.shop" />velvetbrookmerchantgallery</a> only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to <a href="http://digitalpickmarket.shop" />digitalpickmarket</a> confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to <a href="http://cheapproductsonline.shop" />cheapproductsonline</a> kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at <a href="http://cartivoa.shop" />cartivoa</a> kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
