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.
