Ah, so longevity counts for something? Why?

Looks like Wayne's playing the union seniority and schoolteacher tenure
card. Just sayin....
Naw! Just looked that way.

Seniority counts! I hold the door for the elderly. (now that's
snarky!)

I was on a construction site in Florida about 10 years ago, a new
powerplant, actually, when one of the major subcontractors called the
local union business agent to tell him he need five more workers
beginning the next day and continuing for a number of weeks.

"Send me the graybeards," I recall him saying, "I want guys who know how
to do it right the first time, without supervision."

When it is critical, seniority counts.

Seniority in a union just means you have managed to stick around for a
long time. It says nothing about the quality of your work or your
competency.
