Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "bumping" refers to the practice where a senior employee has the ability to "bump" or displace a junior employee in another department or job as long as the senior employee is qualified for it. This is typically based on seniority, with the more senior employee having the right to take the job of a less senior employee if they so choose. This practice is often used in union environments where seniority is highly valued and protected. The other options, free riding, benefit-status seniority, and competitive-status seniority, do not accurately describe this practice.
