Nestlé workers in India faced a number of intimidation tactics when they tried to form unions.  For example, the company got a court injunction permanently banning union activity around factories.  Workers held weekly demonstrations, organized rallies at Nestlé headquarters, refused to work overtime and took many other actions.  International solidarity also helped support the workers' campaign.
