Maine Contract Farming was busted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for endangering workers by making them work in a building that had partially collapsed under the weight of snow and ice. They were sent into the building to recover eggs and brace the rest of it before it could collapse down on them. Fortunately for the workers the rest of the building did not come down on top of them.
