[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1032876, member: 43119"] Technically, anyone laid off should have very low seniority. A guy who has been there for five years should not be laid off before someone who started two months ago. Let's say five people are laid off and their seniority is under one year. They laid off too many people and now there's too much work. Sups do the work. Someone files a grievance. The union agrees. Who gets paid? The laid off guy with the most seniority. Even if it was a lower seniority guy's work. The guy with the higher seniority should have never been laid off, and should have taken over the other guy's work. Seniority is a stupid idea. Lazy workers who don't care get more privileges than hard workers, just because they've been lazy for longer than you have. But what is the alternative? Have sups judge who works the hardest? That's even a worse idea. It's like picking a presidential candidate. You don't vote for who's good, you vote for who sucks less. [/QUOTE]
