Change in Union. In the event SEIU Local 49 merges, reorganizes or consolidates with another SEIU local (such as SEIU Local 1199 NW or Local 503), the Employer will recognize the newly merged local as required as if it were SEIU Local 49, with all of the rights, duties and responsibilities that it has with SEIU Local 49 just prior to the merger, reorganization or consolidation and will amend the name of the Union on this collective bargaining agreement to reflect this change without modifying any other provisions of the contract, including but not limited to fully honoring employees’ seniority and benefits earned with the Employer under the collective bargaining agreement.
