Damn, they paid better than that in the 1970's.
2:59 -- newspaper ad revenue is at 1965 levels, so it makes sense.

Not really, they were paying less than they were in the 70's during their revenue boom (thanks to SCAB's like the Guild), but your point is well taken.
Sounds like another underhanded move by that weasel publisher Gary Wortel. Cut a bunch of skilled, well-paying pressman jobs held by older workers, then offer to take them back but without benefits, lower pay and on-call. Hmm, sounds like an age-discrimination suit in the making. Hey Wort, don't call us, we'll call you. Better yet, our attorneys and the EEOC will call you.
Why even bother hiring more part-timers. The ones we have either can't come to work because they have another job, or they just don't want to work graveyard shift. Besides, TC doesn't even call them in when we really need them because "we can do it boss, we sho can, I'm saving yous lots of bling, bling boss". Sure, a $16/hr part time job is hard to find, but I consider it a slap on the face to anyone better qualified than some of the clowns that still work in this pressroom. "woo-hoo!"
