The employees say the in-house union is under the managements thumb and complain they must work with few breaks and lose pay if they arrive a minute late.

That's standard Japanese workplace practice, duh. If emerging economies want to welcome Japanese FDI, then they need to get used to such strict and freedom-sucking working conditions. If you can't stand the heat.....

And Maruti, 54% owned by Suzuki, is standing firm, saying it is willing to incur any output losses rather than cave in.

Good idea, let's see whose reserves lasts longer: Suzuki's monetary reserves or the workers everlasting reserves of being penniless either they are working or not. We will see.

That's standard Japanese workplace practice,

No, it is not. No one dare go as far as Suzuki does.

Suzuki was a tiny one man factory owned and brutalized by an extremely arrogant and despotic owner Mr. Osamu Suzuki. In the meantime Suzuki grew bigger extended their arms and now a huge multinational company but in reality in their business manner, management as well as attitude is still remained the same, a one man despotic small company and Mr. Osamu Suzuki still believes that a big company can be managed that way, as if it was a small "you can do whatever you want, no one will notice or can do anything" company.
