[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by samsooter@yahoo.com all contracts are different but one thing that is the same everywhere is seniority. seniority is determined by the date that you start working for the railroad. to answer your first question seniority determines who gets what job. [/quote] Not necessarily true. All contracts and railroads are different. The Company decides how the seniority roster is set up and maintains the roster, usually through Crew Management or Human Resources depending upon the RR. The seniority date may be the first date you are on the property or it may be determined by the date of your physical examination for T&E service. Conrail used this method and it worked better than the first day on the property method because the physical date and time was set and no questions arose when a number of people started on the same day (we had 4 in our small terminal). The NS uses the first date on the property method. LC
