Court: use merit, not seniority California Insider Interesting decision out of the California Supreme Court today, ruling that the state government may not award civil service jobs on the basis of seniority. The ruling struck down portions of collective bargaining agreements negotiated between former Gov. Gray Davis and the state worker unions. The agreements said that for certain jobs, the state would compile a list of qualified applicants and then fill the job based soley on seniority among the people in that pool. The court ruled that the constitutional provisions establishing the civil service demand that jobs be awarded based on merit and prohibit a process that relies on seniority instead.
