All the Newnan workers will be paid as if they worked during the slated two-week shutdown, company spokesman Bob Starr said Tuesday. They represent the bulk of about 2,000 Yamaha manufacturing workers who will be affected by the shutdowns. The company’s six other U.S. facilities are in Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Florida and Wisconsin.

“This step is being taken with the factories to protect the health and safety of all team members, their families and our local communities,” Starr said.
