The end of an auld sang

It does rather look as though the management has overreacted:
A TEXTILE worker has been suspended after she sang out-of-tune versions of her favourite songs, including We’ve Gotta Get Out Of This Place, during a shop floor visit by clients to the factory where she worked.
Did you know that
singing on the factory floor is a long-standing tradition among mill workers?
And why shouldn't industrial workers sing? I recall a school visit to the Johnnie Walker distillery in Kilmarnock. The ladies on the bottling line seemed very cheerful, but maybe that wasn't the result of singing...
