(70 ILCS 3605/29) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 329)
Sec. 29. If the Authority acquires a transportation system in operation by
a public utility, all of the employees in the operating and maintenance
divisions of such public utility and all other employees except executive
and administrative officers and employees, shall be transferred to and
appointed as employees of the Authority, subject to all rights and benefits
of this Act, and these employees shall be given seniority credit in
accordance with the records and labor agreements of the public utility.
Employees who left the employ of such a public utility to enter the
military service of the United States shall have the same rights as to the
Authority, under the provisions of the Service Member Employment and Reemployment Rights Act as they would have had thereunder as to
such public utility. After such acquisition the authority shall be required
to extend to such former employees of such public utility only the rights
and benefits as to pensions and retirement as are accorded other employees
of the Authority.
