'Latavia Halliburton, said she witnessed workers’ being threatened with termination if they left.
“Some people asked if they could leave,” but managers told them they would be fired if they did, she said.
The first tornado warning passed without any damage, but several hours later, another warning was issued. Once the second tornado siren sounded sometime after 9 p.m. Friday, Conder and a group of others approached three managers asking to go home.
“‘You can’t leave. You can’t leave. You have to stay here,’” Conder said the managers told her. “The situation was bad. Everyone was uncomfortable.”
Mark Saxton, 37, a forklift operator, said that he would have preferred to leave but that he wasn’t given the option.
“That’s the thing. We should have been able to leave,” Saxton said. “The first warning came, and they just had us go in the hallway. After the warning, they had us go back to work. They never offered us to go home.”'

"Lawyers they hired said they have evidence backing up the allegations that employees were not allowed to leave Friday night as storms approached.
A spokesperson representing the candle factory has refuted the claims that workers could not go home before a tornado destroyed it, killing eight people.
But the lawyers said they’ve got hard evidence the employees are telling the truth"
