Still sounds incredibly unreliable to me. Have no idea how someone can look at a job posting and, without spending even one day actually working the job, conclude that it is "identical" to another job or has a "lower case load" or "less responsibilities". I should also point out the obvious internal inconsistency in her conclusion that the City job was both "identical" to hers yet also had a "lower case load" and "less responsibilities". Doesn't make for compelling evidence.

For what its worth, although still open to abuse (no question), job competitions in workplaces with collective bargaining agreements are far more formal, rigourous and open to scrutiny than in non-unionized workplaces.
