Scope and Contents

A Railroad Craft Seniority Roster, also known as a Seniority List, contains the names of individuals who work within each craft or department. They are listed by their hire date, with the individual who has been in that craft longest, listed first. Each subsequent individual is listed by their hire date. Each of the various crafts will have their own roster. The rosters can be part of a printed booklet or individual sheets of paper. The individual sheets were often posted on specific bulletin boards for the various crafts.

A Seniority system is simple way for determining employment advantages based upon length of service. Seniority is the concept of a person or group of people taking precedence over another person or group because the former is either older than the latter or has occupied a particular position longer than the latter. A railroader's seniority is established by/on his or her hire date. An individual's employee number determined their seniority in the overall roster of employees in the specific type of service. Individuals with lower numbers can displace workers from their current position. The recently displaced worker can then displace or bump other workers with a higher number.

For example, to become a Conductor, an individual would need to start out as a Brakeman. A Brakeman was the entry level position and they would establish a "date" (their date of hire for that position) on the Brakeman's Roster. With time and sufficient training, an individual could bid on an open position for a Train Conductor. Once promoted to Train Conductor, that person would have a "date" on the Train Conductor Roster. This process was similar for the various crafts, such as Locomotive Engineers, Signalmen and others.

It worked in reverse if a department needed to lay off employees. If a signal foreman's position was eliminated from Class 1, that person could bump any person his junior on Class 2 or the Signalmen's Roster. If that bumped person had no place to go on the Signalmen's Roster then he could bump a person off the Assistant Signalmen's Roster. At which point the last person on the Assistant's Roster would be laid off from work. Individuals who had been laid off would be the first one called back to work before additional people were hired.

Conductors and Brakemen Seniortiy Rosters were published in accordance with Rule 36 of the Conductors and Trainmens Schedules. Some examples of a railroad craft are Conductors, Brakemen, Engineers, Firemen, Trainmen, Yardmen, and Telegraphers.

When employees were conscripted into military service, the were entiltels to kept their names on the seniority lists. These individuals were noted with either (MS) or (Absent in Mil SVC) next to their names.

Los Angeles Commissary lists include jobs for: Lounge and Club Car Attendants, Stationary Pantrymen, Lunchcar Attendants, Waiters-In-Charge, Chefs, Second Cooks, Third Cooks, Fourth Cooks, Waiters, Stewards, and Train News Agents. The Train News Agent, also known as the news butcher, sold passengers magazines, newspapers, novels, cigars, candy, soda pop and other confections on the train.

Key terms found on the lists: Note about the (L) symbol found next to names on the rosters. At one time, towermen were members of the signalmen's union. Towermen were responsible for throwing the (L)evers that moved the switches and signals. If they also copied train orders they were members of the telegrapher's union instead.

When towermen were moved from the signalmen's union to the telegrapher's union (ORT), those men retained a preferential right to hold the former Leverman jobs. These men are identified by the (L) symbol. A Leverman had a preferential right to a former towerman position that did not copy train orders. Dayton Ave Tower (California) was one of those locations. Burbank Jct. (California) was not. Thenard Tower (California) was another (L) preference location. Over the years, the (L) men retired and the preference went away.

Note about the (RD) symbol found next to names on the rosters. (RD) stood for Retired account Disability. These individuals were still on the roster for seniority purposes, but not yet 65 years of age. If they were able to return to work before turning 65, they would enter back at that level of seniority. If they were not back at work and turned 65, they would be removed from the seniority list.

(TBM) Train baggagemen could not handle public mail, which was federal and the individuals needed to be a federal employee. The TBM handled the company mail. (MS) Absent in Military Service (BR) L/A [leave of absence] Account Bill of Rights under Servicemen's Educational Roadjustment Act of 1944 (#) Disqualified for Train service
