Collective bargaining agreements between the State and bargaining |
units comparable to those at the Governor Baxter School for the |
Deaf do not cover the members of the bargaining units at that |
school.__The rights and benefits of employees at the Governor |
Baxter School for the Deaf are determined by statute and by the |
status quo existing at the school. The rights and benefits under |
statutes, rules and collective bargaining agreements in effect on |
the effective date of this Act or successor collective bargaining |
agreements are evidence of the status quo that must be maintained |
for all personnel at Governor Baxter School for the Deaf until |
changed in accordance with applicable labor law principles. The |
rights and benefits of personnel hired after August 11, 2000, |
whose positions are included within a bargaining unit, are the |
same as those of the transferred employees, once the newly hired |
personnel are eligible employees under applicable law or the |
applicable collective bargaining agreement, except that these |
employees do not have seniority rights applicable to executive |
branch bargaining units. |
