the consent  of  the  corporation,  the  state  and  the  recognized  or
certified  representatives of the negotiating units involved. New titles
created after the date of the transfer of operations to the  corporation
will  be  placed  in  the appropriate unit of state employees consistent
with the provisions of article fourteen of the civil service law.
2. The  corporation  shall  be  bound  by  all  collective  bargaining
agreements  between the state of New York and such collective bargaining
representatives, in effect as of the date of transfer of  operations  to
the corporation and any successor agreements between such parties.
3. Nothing contained in this provision shall be construed to affect:
(a)  the  rights  of  employees  pursuant  to  a collective bargaining
agreement;
(b) the bargaining relationship between the executive  branch  of  the
state of New York and an employee organization;
