Hundreds of workers at Daybreak Foods staged a protest on Tuesday in Delmas, demanding unpaid salaries amid an ongoing dispute with management. Police and private security monitored the situation as tensions flared throughout the day.
Protesters blocked operations, vowing not to leave until their wages were paid. A site manager, identified as Silo, informed workers that executives would hold a meeting to address their concerns, but employees rejected the delay, stating they had waited months for action.
Workers expressed frustration over unpaid rent, transport costs, and groceries, with some showing pay slips indicating deductions were made—yet no funds had reached their accounts.
Daybreak Foods, a financially troubled company, recently shipped stock to retailers, raising further questions about its inability to pay salaries. Management has yet to respond to media requests.
As night fell, protesters remained camped outside the facility, refusing to leave without resolution.
