Sale or Transfer 15.9.3.1 In the event of a sale or transfer of a store or stores, an employee shall be allowed a seven (7) day period from the date of announcement to the employees of the sale or transfer during which time he may determine whether he wishes to stay with the seller or whether he wishes to make application for employment with the new owner or transferee.

15.9.3.4 Any employee of the seller or transferor who is employed by the new owner or transferee within such thirty (30) day period and who is retained on the payroll of the new owner or transferee for a period in excess of such thirty (30) day period, shall be credited with and retain all seniority acquired while in the employ of the seller or transferor since his most recent date of hire by such seller or transferor for the purpose of determining benefits to which he is entitled under the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the new owner or transferee by virtue of such seniority as if his employment were continuous, including retention of anniversary date of employment, provided that the employees of the seller or transferor shall for the purposes of termination be credited with no more seniority than that of the most-senior employee employed by the new owner or transferee covered by an agreement with a UFCW Local on the date of assumption of responsibility, and provided further that the new owner or transferee shall not be liable for any benefits or payments owed to the employee because of employment with the seller or transferor. “Seller or transferor” is defined to include prior owners of the same store since January 1, 1956.
15.9.3.5 The seller or transferor shall pay all vacation and sick leave accrued for time worked as of the date the sale or transfer becomes effective for all employees who have completed at least six (6) months with the Employer on the effective date of the sale or transfer, and said date shall become the date of employment with the new Employer for the purpose of vacation and sick leave only.
