Seniority tends to be a frequently misunderstood concept by employees as well as employers.
To some, seniority connotes cronyism or is thought to reward length of service as opposed to talent and effort. While there may be shortcomings in applying seniority in the workplace, it is a system far superior to the whim and abuse of discretion that can exist without a strong seniority clause in the contract. As it stands rights now, seniority in our contract is far from adequate. When reductions in staff are necessary, they take place on a seniority basis - the most recently hired are first to be laid off. The district can rehire individuals with less seniority than others with the same credentials who have longer service.
