Best Answer

When a contract is negotiated between an employer and union representatives, it is put to the members of the union to vote on the contract and decide to accept it or reject it.

If the members vote to accept the contract, they have ratified it and it will go into effect.

If they vote to reject the contract, then it does not go into effect and either:

  • negotiations resume,
  • the union goes on strike,
  • the employer locks them out, or
  • work continues without a contract until something else happens.
