The WSWS is continuing to receive new comments from postal workers in response to the deaths of Nick Acker on November 8 at a United States Postal Service facility near Detroit and of Russell Scruggs Jr. near Atlanta, Georgia on November 15.

Several postal workers spoke to a WSWS reporting team at the distribution center in downtown Detroit about Acker’s death.

One worker, Kim, said, “They are really not saying much about what happened, except that it was a two-man job and [Nick] knew it. But I say, even if he knew it was a two-man job, that wasn’t the first day he did that. You knew what was going on. They don’t care about us period.”
