▼ 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.

Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at <a href="http://pilotlobe.shop" />pilotlobe</a> produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at <a href="http://pruneoval.shop" />pruneoval</a> continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at <a href="http://molvani.shop" />molvani</a> continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at <a href="http://cartzaro.shop" />cartzaro</a> confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after <a href="http://xinvoro.shop" />xinvoro</a> I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at <a href="http://rivzavo.shop" />rivzavo</a> continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at <a href="http://octanepinto.shop" />octanepinto</a> kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
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://prowlocean.shop" />prowlocean</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.
Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at <a href="http://trendmixo.shop" />trendmixo</a> maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to <a href="http://driftorchardmerchantmart.shop" />driftorchardmerchantmart</a> I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at <a href="http://modzaro.shop" />modzaro</a> reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at <a href="http://cartvani.shop" />cartvani</a> kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at <a href="http://xavnora.shop" />xavnora</a> extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at <a href="http://relqano.shop" />relqano</a> sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at <a href="http://octanenebula.shop" />octanenebula</a> confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
