You can be held in contempt for leaving your job in the US.

To be fair, this is Wisconsin. The judge is probably the guy that runs the hospital's brother-in-law.
Uh, your link seems to be about the judge ruling that the workers can't be prevented from leaving their job.
If I sent you a link about a person's funeral to show a person had been born, would you not accept that either? The article is about the funeral of the order.
The workers were not held in contempt though.
What do you think happens if you violate a court order? That's the threat behind violating the order of a judge. That it didn't happen doesn't mean my statement was incorrect. If they had actually left in contempt of the order, I would have said it did happen rather than it can happen.
