Section 2799-PP. Assistance to the authority; employees of the authority

1. With the consent of any public corporation,  the  authority  may  use
  agents,   employees  and  facilities  thereof,  paying  to  such  public
  corporation its agreed proportion of the compensation or costs.
    2. Officers and employees of city agencies may be transferred  to  the
  authority and officers and employees of the authority may be transferred
  to appropriate city agencies without examination and without loss of any
  civil service or retirement status or rights. Any officer or employee of
  the  authority  who  heretofore acquired or shall hereafter acquire such
  position status by transfer and who at the time of such transfer  was  a
  member  of the New York city employees' retirement system shall continue
  to be a member of such system as long as he or  she  continues  in  such
  service,  and  shall  continue  to  have  all the rights, privileges and
  obligations of membership in such system. Employment  by  the  authority
  shall  constitute  city-service for the purposes of chapter one of title
  thirteen of the administrative code of the city of New  York.  Transfers
  shall be in accordance with section seventy of the civil service law and
  the  rules of the civil service commission of the city. No such transfer
  shall be made except with  the  approval  of  the  head  of  the  agency
  involved  and  the  chairperson  of the authority and in compliance with
  applicable  collective  bargaining  agreements   and   the   rules   and
  regulations of the civil service commission of the city.
    3.  A  transferred  employee  shall  remain  in  the  same  collective
  bargaining unit as was the case prior to his or her transfer, consistent
  with the provisions of article fourteen of the civil service law and the
  collective bargaining law of the city.
    4. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the rights  of
  employees pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement.
    5.  Employees  newly  appointed  by the authority to a same or similar
  position or title as those represented by public employee  organizations
  subject  to  the New York city collective bargaining law shall be placed
  in the same collective bargaining unit as such same or similar  position
  or  title  and  shall  be  represented  by  the  duly certified employee
  organization representing that unit.
    6. The commissioner of labor  relations  of  the  city  shall  be  the
  authority's  representative for purposes of the New York city collective
  bargaining law.
    7. Employees of the authority shall be subject to chapter  sixty-eight
  of the New York city charter, as amended from time to time.
