facilities shall be transferred to and appointed as employees of the
authority, subject to all the rights and benefits of this chapter, and the
authority shall assume and observe all current labor contracts and

(b) The authority must give the employees of any public

system. The authority must assume the obligations of the acquired

conditions, sick leave, health and welfare, and pension or retirement
provisions for employees.
(c) The authority must assume the provisions of any collective
bargaining agreement between a public transportation agency acquired

agency. The authority and the employees, through their representatives
for collective bargaining purposes, may take whatever action is
necessary to preserve the pension rights of the employees, including the
transfer of pension trust funds under the joint control of the
transportation agency and the participating employees through their
representatives to the trust fund to be established, maintained, and
administered jointly by the authority and the participating employees
through their representatives.
