I live about three miles from one of the affected assembly plants. It's pretty tough.
FTA:
"The affected employees will not be paid by Nissan after being laid off, though it appears that the company will rehire them once the plants restart production. The workers will draw unemployment benefits until then.
Nissan also plans to lay off most of its 6,000 employees at its U.K. plant and about 3,000 workers at a factory in Barcelona, Spain.
Honda, which built 1.2 million cars in the U.S. in 2019, suspended production at its factories there on March 23. The automaker will guarantee full wages until Sunday. The company will instruct the workers to apply for unemployment benefits from their local governments starting Monday."
- _bxg1 7y agoMy company recently furloughed some people, and at least in our case, they got to keep health insurance. Normally that would be cold comfort, but... right now it's pretty important.
- jcims 7y agoYes i believe both Nissan and Honda are maintaining health insurance. Totally agree. Can't imagine 30 days in an ICU on a ventilator would be inexpensive here in the states.
