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.

When and how may a minor ratify a contract?

A minor may ratify a contract upon reaching the age of majority, which is typically 18 years in many jurisdictions. Ratification can occur through explicit affirmation of the contract, such as signing a new agreement or verbally agreeing to the terms, or through implied actions, such as fulfilling the contract's obligations. Importantly, the minor must demonstrate an understanding of the contract and its implications at the time of ratification. If a minor disaffirms a contract before reaching the age of majority, they cannot later ratify it.
