Unit Wide Seniority Clause Samples

The Unit Wide Seniority clause establishes a system where employee seniority is recognized across the entire bargaining unit, rather than being limited to specific departments or job classifications. This means that an employee's length of service is considered in relation to all other employees within the unit for purposes such as promotions, layoffs, or shift assignments. For example, if a layoff occurs, employees with greater overall unit seniority may have priority for retention or reassignment, regardless of their current department. The core function of this clause is to ensure fair and consistent treatment of employees by basing key employment decisions on total service within the unit, thereby reducing disputes and promoting transparency.
