Yes, but not after the regular shift ended, thus the reason they were trying to leave before Trump finished speaking. Notice everyone facing away from the podium.

Wouldnt the company paying the wages of these employees to attend count as a campaign contribution, likely in excess of the legal limit? @emrazz

Possibly...if you could establish that the workers time had intrinsic value to the campaign and not just to the company. Im not sure the test for determining whether a thing has value in this context.
