Does seniority still enhance your ability to get what you bid for? If so the folk further down the list whose bid goes in the bin might be a darn sight happier if the important days days such as Xmas were spread equitably right across the work force, in this computer age its not beyond the ingenuity of man/woman to devise a program/software.
Paramedics, nurses and police to name a few all get 6 or 8 weeks plus holiday rates. Poor excuse.
