Jobs use senoirity as a why they permote people in the ranks. But when skill is not used to promote. Is it not the way we should do this because then all of the best workers and good thinkers would be in charge and all of the idiots would be doing all the work

Most managers do NOT want "best workers and good thinkers".

Such people upset the status quo, and may show that the management is ineffectual and/or incompetent.

Seniority is used as criterion for advancement because:
1) it's a reward for loyalty (traditionally),
2) people who've been there understand the culture, and are (usually) vested in it,
3) they are a known quantity.

It is the way most companies are run. Being a union or non-union has nothing to do with it. It's just human nature.

Arghhhhh! Did you ever notice that little purple slug that says 'Check Spelling?' Have you ever tried it?
Okay, are you talking about humane rights, or human rights? Is it fore front or for front? Jobs don't use senoirity (whatever that may be) as a why (do you mean a reason?) they permote (possibly promote) people in the ranks. Jobs don't do the promoting. Managers do.
In order to be promoted, you have to show that you have the ability to do the job to which you are assigned, and that you have the potential to handle something more demanding and more difficult. Human rights have nothing to do with performance. Everyone's human rights should be respected, but human rights are certainly not a basis for promotion.

It sounds like you're talking about a union shop. That's why unions just aren't good for business nor their employees - the exact reasons you say.

Unions are nothing but havens for slackers and idiots. Those who are willing to work harder, learn more skills, and take pride in their work are rewarded no more so than those who do the bare minimum required. In fact, when you do more, you get in trouble because "it's not your job." So, why would anyone work harder when it has no reward?

It sounds like you're actually willing to work for a living, so do yourself a favor and get out of the unions. Find a company that is willing to reward hard work and intelligent thinking.
