[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 388462, member: 5529"] If you need a day off,for say a doctors appointment,then seniority is not part of your request. Your sup should be able to take care of you provided you show them the courtesy of letting them know in advance. If it`s for something important to you ,say to attend a wedding, then seniority is not generally part of your request.While the contract says "seniority" it has been past practice to allow someone off for such a situation,but they don`t have to. You should be able to use an optional day or your sup once again can give you the day off but once again give them the courtesy of advance notice so they can plan for your absence. But if two of you have something important on the same day and the sup can only afford to give one the day off,then the higher seniority will get it. Now if you just want a day off when your center has more workers than it needs for a given day and can cut somebody loose,then yes,seniority prevails and it is your sups best interest to follow the contract and start at the top and work his way down. If a higher seniority wants it,they get it. It`s how it works,it doesn`t have to be fair. [/QUOTE]
