▼ 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.

Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to <a href="http://urbanvani.shop" />urbanvani</a> maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at <a href="http://nexdeck.shop" />nexdeck</a> earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at <a href="http://palettemanor.shop" />palettemanor</a> reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at <a href="http://ploverpatio.shop" />ploverpatio</a> extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://dealrova.shop" />dealrova</a> reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://quaintotter.shop" />quaintotter</a> pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at <a href="http://nexcove.shop" />nexcove</a> kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at <a href="http://urbantix.shop" />urbantix</a> added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at <a href="http://padreorchid.shop" />padreorchid</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.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at <a href="http://quartzorchardtradingpost.shop" />quartzorchardtradingpost</a> extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at <a href="http://purpleorbit.shop" />purpleorbit</a> held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at <a href="http://dealenzo.shop" />dealenzo</a> maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at <a href="http://morxavi.shop" />morxavi</a> confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at <a href="http://tavnero.shop" />tavnero</a> reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at <a href="http://ponymedal.shop" />ponymedal</a> continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
