The problem with voteing is it becomes a popularity contest. Working on the line is hard on your body, thats why you need the high seniorty guys off the line so we all don't retire as cripples. Seniority gives everyone a chance to eventually get a good job. If your leader is bad, washrooms and 1st aids ect. can help. The Foreman will not side with a leader who has alot of down time in work group for long.
