TEAM Members Ratify Contract

This week, members of TEAM/IFPTE Local 161 voted to ratify their recently negotiated contract with Bell/MTS.  The Memorandum of Agreement dated October 1, 2025, has been approved by the membership, with 84.4% of eligible TEAM members participating in the vote.  

The four-year deal (February 20, 2025–February 19, 2029) includes no concessions and provides competitive general wage increases (GWIs) each year. It also delivers an additional GWI in 2026 by converting a portion of variable compensation to guaranteed, pensionable base pay, plus a pensionable lump-sum payment upon ratification for all members. The agreement further clarifies and streamlines language and processes, and expands opportunities for career development and advancement for TEAM members.
