Where do you stand on the merit vs. seniority issue for retaining/promoting employees? I'm in a union where seniority trumps everything. You can be the shittiest, laziest employee we have, but, if you've got the years, you've got the clout and get preferential treatment. Longevity should count for something, but, in my opinion, your performance, or lack thereof, should also be a factor. I think that a lazy worker, who often calls in sick, should be laid off or passed over for promotion in favor of a hard worker, with perfect attendance, regardless of the number of years under their respective belts, but, the union won't have that.
Union dues are kind of a bribe in a way to perpetuate this broken system.
