Seniority Points and Layoffs

Seniority Points: Have You Calculated Yours? (The APC Advocate, Spring 2003)

While there’s very little that APC—or any of the CSU unions—can do to prevent the CSU from deciding layoffs are necessary, we can and will do everything possible to ensure that all available alternatives are considered by the University before layoffs are implemented. We also can ensure that the appropriate process is followed and that employees who should not be laid off are not.

Therefore, in preparation for the possibility of layoffs, it’s extremely important that each Unit 4 employee’s seniority points are verified for accuracy. APC will do everything possible to assist Unit 4 employees in this regard, but your personal involvement is crucial.

APC has obtained recent calculations by the CSU of Unit 4 employees’ seniority points, and we have prepared a publication (our “Seniority Point Calculator”) to assist you in understanding how seniority points are calculated, in determining your own seniority points, and in verifying the CSU’s calculations.

If you have not yet received your personalized copy of the “calculator,” take the time now to contact one of your campus stewards and ask that one be prepared for you. And once you receive yours, it’s important that you calculate and verify your seniority points right away. The job you save may be your own!
