Printers Strike at Pittsburgh Press Halts Talks Again
Negotiations in the Pittsburgh Press printers strike, now 20 days old, halted and not resumed until next Tuesday. Press officials met with Local 7 bargainers to discuss contract issues and positions, with full union committee later in session. The walkout began May 14 after management rejected a $62 package and offered $52, union later pushed to $72 weekly. The Press Co. is owned by Scripps-Howard and runs afternoon and Sunday editions.
