ALLEN PARK, Mich. – The fiancée of an Allen Park postal worker who was killed by a machine at the facility shared how she found out about her loved one.
Stephanie Jaszcz said her fiancé, Nick Acker, worked the midnight shift as a mechanic at the USPS Detroit Network Distribution Center in Allen Park.
Over the weekend, he didn’t return home after his shift, and he wasn’t returning her calls or text messages. Jaszcz said she started to panic.
“So I went up there, went to the fence and the intercom, and I was talking to some girl, and I was, like, ‘Listen, not to sound crazy, but my fiancé is missing,’” Jaszcz said.
She said she waited for an hour by the gate.
“She tells me he never punched out and they’re looking for him,” Jaszcz said. “All of a sudden, an ambulance, a fire truck, cop cars are all coming in. No one will let me through the gate. No one will talk to me.”
She said she waited two more hours before she was told Acker was dead.
Don’t believe anything postal management has to say about safety. Most don’t care about the craft employees. It’s all a numbers game to them
