* §  1199-gggg.  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, may, at the request of the authority  and 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.  Any  such  officers  or employees so  transferred to the authority pursuant to this section, who  are  members  of  or  benefit under any existing pension or retirement fund or system,  shall continue to have all rights, privileges,  obligations  and  status  with  respect  to  such fund or system as are now prescribed by law, but  during  the  period  of  their  employment   by   the   authority,   all  contributions  to  such  funds  or systems to be paid by the employer on  account of such officers or employees shall be paid by 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 the  same collective bargaining unit as 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 (a) to  diminish 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.    * NB There are 2 § 1199-gggg's
