Where seniority comes into play is who gets to work. Work during the day or at night; if management needs more tellers than usual, a senior teller could jump ahead of a junior guy, etc.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-2231569649478386702011-04-03T20:28:14.727-04:002011-04-03T20:28:14.727-04:00I've heard that most of the union teller jobs ...I've heard that most of the union teller jobs gotten through political patronage.
