Q: 2 supervisors had the same position 1 gets promotion at after 2 year gets demoted to senior supervisor who has seniorit
A:
Unfortunately, unless you are in a union that protects seniority, seniority does not give you any extra privileges or opportunities. The company can promote whomever it wants regardless of how long one or the other has worked there. However, if you could prove that you were denied the promotion because of your membership in a protected class of people, or because you had engaged in some form of legally protected conduct, you might have a meritorious legal claim.
Good luck to you.
A: It would depend on what your employment contract, and the company policies provide. If you are not union, you are an at will employee and you may not have any seniority rights. Contact an employment law attorney to discuss and have him review your documents. Thanks for using Justia ask a lawyer.
