Workers struck the Toyota Kirloskar plant in Bidadi, India, January 6 to protest the suspension of three workers for supposed acts of misconduct. The next day, 300-400 workers blocked the access road to the factory, demanding the suspension be dropped. The bosses retaliated, locking workers out January 8. About 1,550 of the factory’s 2,350 workers are in the union.
