Employees were reportedly grief-stricken, with some crying and yelling at the plant manager.

The manager had ordered production to continue immediately, which led to the walkout. Further details about the incident are available from the source. The facility is operated by Smithfield Foods.

The reaction of the employees suggests a significant impact on the workforce, with many expressing distress and frustration at being expected to work after the death.
