The United States Post Office of Millen. While several towns in the United States have closed their Post Offices, Millens still stands. The Millen Post Office was established in 1840 in what was then known as Brinsonville; Georgia. The very first postmaster was Martin Marsh. The post office has been located in several historic buildings over the years. Such as, the Southern Hotel, the Godbee Building, and the Hotel Estelle. The Jenkins County post office located at the comer of East Winthrope and North Daniel Street moved into its permanent and present location in 1938. Jenkins County was created on August 17, 1905, from portions of Bulloch, Burke, Emanuel and Screven counties, and named after the 44th Governor of Georgia, Charles Jones Jenkins. The colonial revival exterior trim is made of white Georgia marble. It has a front entrance with engaged pilasters and fanlight, marble trim, comice, steps, and platform along with a flat composition roof enclosed by parapet wall (wall that continues vertically past the roofline). Money that was the approved for the cost of the current building was $65,000. , which was allowed for the site, building, and administration all together. News you can use, or not Burke County sheriff strips Waynesboro police of deputy status By Joe Brady, Editor for The Times Burke County Sheriff Alphonso Williams rescinded the deputy status of police officers in the Waynesboro PD last week, except for the police chief. In a letter to the chief, Williams states, “I deputize municipal officers within the county to build tmst and respect, unfortunately some members of your team have broken that tmst and respect on multiple occasions. I will not allow any of them, except you Chief Burley, to operate outside the jurisdiction of the City.” Williams is currently under investigation by the GBI after a financial audit revealed discrepancies. The beleaguered sheriff was found to have spent $200k in grant money on a credit card that county commissioners never authorized. Williams was elected to the top job in Burke County in 2017. He has been in law enforcement for thirty years. It is still unclear as to what prompted this move by the sheriff. UPS could strike as early as August 1 By Joe Brady, Editor for The Times Last Friday 97 percent of unionized UPS workers voted to authorize a strike by August 1 if the delivery company and Teamsters can’t come to an agreement before the contract expires next month. Teamsters’ president Sean O’Brien said in a statement, “if this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract, UPS will be striking itself. The strongest leverage our members have is their labor and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly.” This is not the first time the delivery service has gone on strike. According to the Associated Press (AP), workers went on strike in 1997. But a strike in 2023 could be far more dismptive as we have become a mail order society. More Americans rely heavily on companies such as Amazon to supply their households and businesses. The strike could have mountainous implications for the economy. Six percent of the country’s gross domestic product is moved through UPS each year. The Union has asked for improved work conditions to include air conditioning in new UPS trucks and fans for existing ones. The union is also asking for a pay raise following the pressure put on drivers during the pandemic and no excessive overtime. The union has also asked for more full time jobs and video camera and harassment protection.
