Post by catch22 »

how exactly does seneriority work?
And what entitles you to pick your holidays first?

Seniority can be used to pick duties in an office.
Nothing entitles you to have first pick every time for annual leave allocation. It specifically says in the Way Forward agreement that seniority cannot be used.
Everybody should have a fair chance over the years of getting the holiday slot they want.
This can be done in different ways.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I got "lumbered" with my leave being allocated during the school holidays.

I don't have kids, and I don't want to book my holidays when prices go through the roof............. the offer of swapping leave was very quickly snapped up by someone who does have kids and desperately wanted time off during the school holidays.

What some covet, can be a burden to others :Very Happy
I am no longer a number :-)
