(70 ILCS 3610/3.5) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 353.5)
Sec. 3.5. If the district acquires a mass transit facility, all of the
employees in such mass transit
facility shall be transferred to and appointed as employees
of the district, 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 mass transit facility. Employees who left the

United States shall have the same rights as to the district, under the
provisions of the Service Member Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, as they would have had thereunder as to such mass transit facility.

former employees of such mass transit facility only the rights and benefits
as to pensions and retirement as are accorded other employees of the
district.
