Beshear told reporters at a news conference that the inquiry “shouldn’t suggest there was any wrongdoing.”

Beshear said such an investigation doesn't happen"one day or a couple of days after" an incident."Everyone is expected to live up to certain standards of both the law, of safety and of being decent human beings," he said."I hope everybody lived up to those standards."that managers told employees that they would probably lose their jobs if they went home.
"If you leave, you’re more than likely to be fired,” Emery recalled overhearing managers tell four workers standing near her. “I heard that with my own ears.”
