▼ 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.

Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at <a href="http://luxrivo.shop" />luxrivo</a> kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at <a href="http://liquidnudge.shop" />liquidnudge</a> extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://vinmora.shop" />vinmora</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.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at <a href="http://plantmedal.shop" />plantmedal</a> reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at <a href="http://questloft.shop" />questloft</a> extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at <a href="http://muffinmarble.shop" />muffinmarble</a> continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at <a href="http://curvecalm.shop" />curvecalm</a> continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to <a href="http://lionpilot.shop" />lionpilot</a> reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at <a href="http://venqaro.shop" />venqaro</a> added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at <a href="http://pivotllama.shop" />pivotllama</a> also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at <a href="http://motelmorel.shop" />motelmorel</a> confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at <a href="http://queenmanor.shop" />queenmanor</a> also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to <a href="http://lilacneon.shop" />lilacneon</a> maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
