Re:             Negotiations Update - Tentative Agreement Reached

Our Negotiating Committee has reached a tentative agreement with MTS on a revised Collective Agreement.  Key aspects include:

• Three-year agreement
• 2.0%, 2.0%, and 1.75% on base salary
• $80 every two years for eye examinations
• Remote working call-out pay minimums
• Compressed workweek
• Agreement on contracting-in
• New (i.e. new to TEAM) employees: Three PLDs
• New (i.e. new to MTS) employees: Three-week vacation entitlement will start one year later, capped at 6 weeks
• There are no changes to PLDs, vacation and overtime for current members

The Negotiating Committee is recommending acceptance of this Agreement.  Information meetings and ratification vote details to follow.

Thank you,

Misty Hughes Newman
