A minor clarification in case anyone was wondering: promotion is typically decided by seniority in the unionized industrial sector, but in the Canadian public service, where union rights were more circumscribed, promotion was by "merit" at the discretion of the employer. This was a management right the unions sought to curb both at the bargaining table and in the legislative arena. A fair number of people on this list probably confront or confronted this issue in their workplaces. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
