Brand Bootcamp Photographs: Many members have expressed concern that MTS requires them to have their photograph taken for the customer first pledge during the Brand Bootcamp. TEAM notified the Company of its concerns citing the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Company assures us that they have advised the CORE Team that it is not mandatory for employees to have their photographs taken. There are many reasons people do not want their photograph taken, however, the taking of your photograph for commercial use without your permission is protected under PIPEDA. To do so is deemed an invasion of one’s privacy. Should you want advice on this matter please contact the TEAM office: [email protected], 204-984-9470.
-
Rotation into Acting Assignments: To give a greater number of TEAM members developmental opportunities, Article 9.07 of our Collective Agreement allows interested qualified employees to rotate through temporary assignments that were not previously posted and the assignment has now exceeded 12 months (excluding project related assignments). To be considered for rotation into an acting position submit the Acting Appointment Rotation Request form that can be found on Our Source:

Clicking on the ‘Acting Appointment Rotation - TEAM Members Only’ form, results in the prompt to go to the ‘Lateral Transfer Request - TEAM Members Only’ form.
-
Click the ‘Lateral Transfer Request’ form, go down to ‘Views’ and click on ‘My Submission’ to start a new request.

Indicate on the form that you are submitting an ‘Acting Appointment Rotation’ as the ‘Transfer Type’.

Complete the form, attach a current resume, and submit the request.
