96A.200 Duties to employees transferred from acquired system.
If an authority acquires an existing transit system, the authority shall assume and observe
all existing labor contracts and pension obligations. All employees of such system who
are necessary for the operation thereof by the authority shall be transferred to and
appointed as employees of the authority. Such employees shall be given seniority credit
and sick leave, vacation, insurance, and pension credits in accordance with the records or
labor agreements from the acquired transit system. The authority shall assume the
obligations of any transit system acquired by it with regard to wages, salaries, hours,
working conditions, sick leave, health and welfare and pension or retirement provisions
for employees. The authority and the employees, through their representatives for
collective bargaining purposes, shall take whatever action may be necessary to have
pension trust funds presently under the joint control of the acquired transportation system
and the participating employees through their representatives transferred to the trust fund
to be established, maintained and administered jointly by the authority and the
participating employees through their representatives. No employee of any acquired
transportation system who is transferred to a position with the authority shall by reason of
such transfer be placed in any worse position with respect to workers' compensation,
pension, seniority, wages, sick leave, vacation, health and welfare insurance or any other
benefits than he enjoyed as an employee of such acquired transportation system.
