▼ 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.

Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at <a href="http://crystalcoveoutpost.shop" />crystalcoveoutpost</a> continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at <a href="http://zencoveartisanmart.shop" />zencoveartisanmart</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 feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at <a href="http://braceborn.shop" />braceborn</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.
Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at <a href="http://pebbleorbit.shop" />pebbleorbit</a> suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at <a href="http://muralpeony.shop" />muralpeony</a> the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to <a href="http://kirvoro.shop" />kirvoro</a> only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at <a href="http://curvecatch.shop" />curvecatch</a> reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at <a href="http://cocoablue.shop" />cocoablue</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.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at <a href="http://canyoncoveartisanhouse.shop" />canyoncoveartisanhouse</a> provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://orchardbrookartisanmarket.shop" />orchardbrookartisanmarket</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.
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at <a href="http://mercymodel.shop" />mercymodel</a> maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at <a href="http://kinzavo.shop" />kinzavo</a> extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at <a href="http://pebbleoboe.shop" />pebbleoboe</a> pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at <a href="http://lotusnorth.shop" />lotusnorth</a> maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at <a href="http://cocoaable.shop" />cocoaable</a> also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
