Important story, thanks for covering. Perhaps this can be a wake-up call just like the 1911 Triangle Waist Factory Fire in NYC. http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/trianglefire/

What do you mean by “routinely locked down”?
Warehouse workers locked in from the outside for shift duration. Simple and I have yet to find the link where I read that. Sorry about that.
