Maruti Suzuki India stopped production at its Manesar facility on Monday.
The company asked workers to sign a "Good conduct Bond" before entering the factory premises following alleged quality issues.
" The management wants us to sign an undertaking that we will not indulge in any union related activities. Our application for union formation, too, has been rejected by the Haryana Government. The company does not want us to submit a fresh application." A Maruti Suzuki worker told.

There was heavy security around the plant, after the premises were sealed, with the company suspending 10 workers and dismissing five others. Services of six trainees have also been discontinued.
A company official said Workers had been indulging in sabotage. There was a go-slow, causing quality problems last week. This was directly harming customers interest and trust, he said.
The Manesar plant makes 600 cars in two eight-hour shifts every day. The revenue loss per day would amount to roughly Rs.40 crore. The factory produces new Swift, A-star and SX4.
The strike also affected the share price of Maruti. Today price closed at Rs.1091.55 on the NSE.
In June, workers at the Manesar plant struck work for 13 days demanding recognition of a new union. The company reported a production loss of 13, 400 cars valued at Rs.460 crore.
