It is the union way.
Many companies now promote based on term of service, not on ability to do the job.

Because, as with free agency is most sports, these days, hardly anyone stays in one company long enough to earn a promotion, merit-based or otherwise. In other words, the worker either jumps ship to get better pay (or a better work environment), elsewhere, or is laid-off (or fired).
So, unless your company gives automatic cost-of-living increases and/or you are "union", promotions of ANY kind, merit or otherwise, are virtually a thing of the past. Look at it this way: let's say you're part of a team, and EVERYbody works equally hard, yet only ONE of you gets a promotion, raise, slap-on-the-back, etc. How do you think everyone else feels? "Golly, I worked real hard, and got nothing out of it! Why, I'll just keep working harder until I *do* get something, by gum!" Yeah . . . that's the ticket! ;)

I would say MOST promotions ARE based on Merit/qualifications/performace . Most reasonable companies won't promote someone unqualified. I
