Right, but that doesn't mean the price has to increase. If they are profitable and handle all their fixed costs running a single shift, then the second shift should be more profitable at the same price. (Assuming the machines can handle it, etc.)

Depends on how much overtime they have to factor into there. In the short term, especially for short term demand, it's going to be a lot of people making time and a half or 2x more likely than not.

A new shift will take a while to train up and temps are... ugh... don't even get me started about the sort of people temp agencies send. We had some that only lasted a day for not listening and doing stupidly unsafe things. One of them nearly hit me upside the head with a piece of glass because he wasn't paying attention to where he was swinging it. That was his last day on the job, for precisely that reason.
