AI Summary

This bill reinstates positions in a departmental unit for the city of Methuen according to seniority. Specifically, it requires that if permanent employees under Chapter 31 of the Massachusetts General Laws are to be separated from employment due to lack of work, funding, or position abolishment, they must be separated based on seniority and reinstated in the same or similar positions based on seniority. The bill also allows for demotions to lower-ranked positions as an alternative to separation and requires the reinstatement of employees who were separated due to disability once they are deemed capable of employment. The bill maintains the preference provided for disabled veterans under Section 26.
