    Toyota faced labor unrest at its manufacturing plant in Bidadi, near Bangalore, India. The conflict began in 2004 with the suspension of 15 workers for misconduct including assaulting a supervisor. In January 2006, the union went on strike without providing the required 14 day notice. Toyota responded by locking out workers. The state government intervened to broker an agreement where Toyota lifted the lockout and workers signed declarations to maintain discipline and ensure full production.
