A worker's death at a meat-producing facility prompted dozens of employees to walk off the job. The day started with a text message announcing a late start, but when workers arrived, they were met with news of the death. Employees gathered in the lunchroom, where grief and stress were evident. Some workers were crying, while others yelled at the plant manager, expressing their concerns about continuing work.

The workers were upset that management ordered production to continue immediately after the death. Further details about the incident are available from the source.

The facility in question is operated by Smithfield Foods, and the incident occurred at their plant in Monmouth, Ill.
