Are you transferring in before the repick takes place? If so then yes seniority stays with you, if transferring in during a repick the repick should be completed before you are allowed to transfer and then at that point you would have your seniority

Only lose Seniority if there's a "Break in Service" i.e you can't get a Transfer so Leave the Business and then Reapply for another job in a nearby office. :sad:

Really upset an old DOM of mine (plus a couple of Brown Nosers) when we had a Resign and I was way up the list in my "New" Offfice. "But you had a Break in Service didn't you"? No ...Sorry....Finished Office A on Saturday....Started Office B on Monday....Tough Luck Try Again! :thumbup
