Seniority with same date

We had two drivers who were hired on the same date. They flipped a coin to see who got seniority over the other one. The one who lost cried about that for 30 years. At the time they didn't realize what a big deal it was but when you take into consideration everything at UPS is ran by seniority it turned out to be a real big argument starter between those two.

Would arm wrestling have been a better way to settle the issue? Could not have been a worse solution.

At the time I'm sure the center manager thought he had come up with a brilliant solution. P.S. If they would have had an arm wrestling contest the same guy would have won.

I had the same date as another, and was put behind them, had that switched because of last name was before theirs. They no longer work for UPS.
