"We have requested the government to intervene in the matter immediately and prohibit the lockout declared by the management which is illegal. The government should prosecute the management for violating labour laws and issue immediate relief to the dismissed employees such as reinstatement and payment of wages during the dismissed period."1 - Meenakshi Sundaram, General Secretary, Centre of Indian Trade Union, Bangalore, in 2006. "How long can we put up with unruly behaviour? We would like to restore normalcy as soon as possible, but at the same time, we would not like to compromise on discipline."2 - A R Shankar, General Manager, Corporate Planning Division, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited, in 2006. "There are another 11 people suspended by the management and we fear they may also be dismissed. We are officially supposed to work for eight hours but we are overworked sometimes. And we are treated in such a way, that we can't even take a bathroom break when we want."3 - R. Ravi, Union Joint Secretary, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Employees Unions, in 2006. Introduction
