Whenever the district shall operate such system or services, or enter into any lease, contract, or other arrangement for the operation of such system or services, the district shall take such action as may be necessary to extend to employees or affected public transit service systems furnishing like services, in accordance with seniority, the first opportunity for reasonably comparable employment in any available nonsupervisory jobs in respect to such operations for which they can qualify after a reasonable training period.
