§ 2755. Transfer of officers and employees. 1. In accordance with the
provisions of section seventy of the civil service law, any officer or
employee of the county, selected by the authority may, with the consent
of the county executive, be transferred to the authority and shall be
eligible for such transfer and appointment, without further examination,
to applicable offices, positions and employment under the authority.

2. A transferred employee shall remain in the same collective
bargaining unit as was the case prior to his or her transfer; successor
employees to the positions held by such transferred employees shall,
consistent with the provisions of article fourteen of the civil service
law, be included in the same unit as their predecessors. Employees
serving in positions in newly created titles shall be assigned to such
same collective bargaining unit if they would have been assigned to such
unit were such titles created prior to the establishment of the
authority. Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to
diminish (a) the rights of employees pursuant to a collective bargaining
agreement or (b) to affect existing law with respect to an application
to the public employment relations board seeking a designation by the
board that certain persons are managerial or confidential.
