It was a typical Monday morning at Omaha's International Nutrition plant, with workers sluggishly rolling in after the weekend and punching in for their predawn,
7 a.m. shift.

Coffee was huge on mornings like this. Keith Everett, the plant janitor known for his hearty laugh, could usually be counted on to make sure java was available in the second-floor break room.

As the main-floor production lines started up, Erik Ocampo, operator of the No. 1 line, had to wait. The co-worker who was supposed to stack the finished bags of Pro-Pep, a hog feed supplement produced by Ocampo's line, was running late.

About 10 minutes later, Leonardo came in, complaining of heavy traffic.

And the company CEO said something about hoping OSHA hurries so they can get back to work. Sounds like a real prick.
