Seniority
Is seniority based on the number of years,months etc that you have served as a total in Royal Mail, or time served in a particular do or spdo. The reason for this question is can a person with x number years service move to a different location, and if there is a repick due to BT2010 changes in the next couple of months, hold seniority over someone who has been in that unit for many years but not quite as long as the transferee.

Re: Seniority
Also just to add number of hours worked doesn't affect seniority either, so part timers will be senior to full timers if they have worked for a longer period of time regardless of fact they are only part time
