BANGALORE, India (AP) - Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. indefinitely shut down its vehicle factory near the southern Indian city of Bangalore after workers went on strike last week to protest the dismissal of three employees, an executive at the plant said Monday.
Workers began the strike Friday, demanding the three dismissed employees of the factory be rehired, said A.R. Shankar, the general manager of Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts Ltd., the joint venture that directly runs the plant.
The factory, which is 89 percent owned by the Toyota, rolls out about 70 cars a day, including Toyota's Innova and Corolla models. India's Kirloskar Group owns the remainder of the plant.
