Do you have the "official" chain-of-command heirarchy of a Union?
(I was a Union member for only 2 years; back in 1968 and 1969), and have never been in a "seniority-based" career path since....
It's not real popular around here (understatement) but I was a union member for 31 years and I don't try to keep it a secret, nor do I keep secret the fact that I have never voted for a democrat in my life.
