Seniority has always been the rule in any union job. If I understood 
Vegastud's post correctly, the senior bartender on the shift no longer has 
supervisory authority over subordinates, but they did when I was a union 
bartender.

Another difference was we also had Master Bartenders who were above the full 
bartenders. That took more training, more testing, and more years to 
achieve.Some times there were problems when a long-time tender couldn't pass 
the test for Master but had more years than the Master, but it rarely came up 
because that type of full bartender didn't usually work at the same kinds of 
place.

I will bow to Vegastud on any current union rules.
