Washington Examiner - Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government by Misty Severi
Several employees at a candle factory destroyed by a tornado Friday night in Mayfield, Kentucky , claim their jobs were at risk if they left before the dangerous twister hit, according to a report.
Some workers left anyway out of fear for their safety. The factory was eventually destroyed with 110 people trapped inside, eight of whom are confirmed dead as of Monday evening.
Haley Conder, 29, said she was told by managers to stay for safety reasons. However, after the first siren stopped, she said people should have been allowed to go home. An initial tornado warning passed without incident. Several hours passed before another warning was issued, and when a second siren went off, that’s when Condor said a group of workers approached managers to ask if they could go home.
