TEAM Policy #8
On notification of a retirement or departure by the TEAM member concerned or a colleague, TEAM will present a gift to members in good standing who leave the Company at retirement after one year of membership in TEAM, or after five years of membership if not commencing retirement (excluding members terminated for just cause).
TEAM currently presents a limited edition Cree Imagery print by artist Ernie Scoles. Ernie is the son of retired TEAM member Ted Scoles.
For members who are retiring, TEAM will also pay the first year’s membership fee of the Telephone Retirees Association of Manitoba (TRAM).
TRAM was formed in 1999 to represent the interest of all retirees from MTS. TRAM actively supports its members in the pension lawsuit in a effort to regain the benefits and governance of the plan that was enjoyed by members of the Civil Service Superannuation Plan. TRAM provides a voice for retired MTS employees to lobby on issues that are important to them and an opportunity to maintain networks and friendships.
The TEAM office does not always receive notification of retirements or departures in a timely manner. If you are leaving MTS or aware of a member who will be leaving, please notify the TEAM office at 204-984-9470.
