last date of employment. The City shall establish a seniority list, and it shall be
brought up to date each year during the month of November and posted on all fire
station bulletin boards for a period of not less than thirty (30) days, and a copy
mailed to the Secretary of the Union. Any objection to the seniority list as posted
shall be reported within thirty (30) days of the end of the posting period by the
individual employee. Seniority will commence from the first day of employment
on a full-time basis as a probationary employee. Corrections to the seniority list
brought to the City's attention after the thirty (30) day period will be corrected, but
would not negate any benefits already awarded based on seniority.

after July 1, 1989, the order of seniority will be determined by the dates that the
Department received the application from the employee. If date of hire and the date
the application is received are the same, employee seniority will be determined
alphabetically by last name.
