@GrimKim Walmart did the same to me and coworkers on night shift during the start of covid
@GrimKim @kathleen_belew In the 1980s, I worked at a dyeworks where all the doors were locked (at least for the night shift).
@GrimKim please tell me you reported this company to the authorities
@GrimKim In 1991 a fire killed 25 workers locked in a Hamlet, NC chicken plant. Very sad.
