Section 1475-E. Contract for employees

1.  The  authority  is  hereby
  authorized to enter into a contract under  which  the  contractor  would
  provide  employees  to  the  authority  for the purpose of operation and
  maintenance of the projects of the authority. The  authority  shall  not
  begin  operation of any project until such a contract shall be in force.
  Such contract shall provide that all employees engaged in the  operation
  and  maintenance  of  any  authority  project  shall be employees of the
  contractor and not employees of the authority, and such employees  shall
  receive their total compensation and employee benefits directly from the
  contractor.  Except for titles that would be determined to be management
  or confidential pursuant to title fourteen of the civil service law, the
  authority shall have no  employees  other  than  the  employees  of  the
  contractor pursuant to the contract referred to in this section.
    2.  Every  contract entered into under subdivision one of this section
  shall require that the wages to be paid to any employees engaged in  the
  operation  and  maintenance  of  any authority project shall be not less
  than wages that are comparable to those paid to employees doing  similar
  work in the city of Syracuse.
