Heard on good authority that the next PG move to a mere 3x a week is coming soon.

I guess printing/delivery would continue on Thursday and Sunday, the biggest ad days, and probably Monday, for Steelers coverage. I suppose Wed or Fri could be in there instead of Monday, but, hey, this is Stillers Nation.

What of jobs?

If they print just 3 days, do they need as many pressmen, etc. manning that new printing plant? I suppose it depends on whether they can recruit enough clients for whom they could adapt the presses to do their ads for mailing, etc., or print anything else they can line up.

Will they need as many Teamsters to deliver out of trucks? Probably same answer, depending on what else they can print out there and where the product needs to go.

And what of neighborhood paper delivery people? If you do deliver the PG only three mornings, can you afford to not get another job, which might preclude you delivering the paper? Would they have to step up newsstand and box sales to offset any trouble keeping home delivery people employed?
