UNION RATIFICATION Clause Samples
The Union Ratification clause defines the requirement that any agreement reached between an employer and a union must be formally approved by the union's membership before it becomes binding. Typically, this involves a vote by union members, where a majority must agree to the proposed terms of the contract or collective bargaining agreement. This process ensures that the union leadership cannot unilaterally accept terms without the consent of the broader membership, thereby safeguarding democratic participation and legitimacy in labor negotiations.
UNION RATIFICATION. This Agreement shall be binding as to each local union upon ratification by said local.
UNION RATIFICATION. Employees of the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates who are associated with the Mosinee, Wisconsin and the Rhinelander, Wisconsin production facilities and who are represented by the United Steelworkers union shall have ratified new collective bargaining agreements in a form satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller; the existing collective bargaining agreements with such employees shall have been terminated and no party shall have terminated or repudiated, in whole or in part, the new collective bargaining agreements or committed any material breach of the terms thereof.
UNION RATIFICATION. Prior to the start of negotiations, the Union will notify the Agency whether the Agreement will be subject to ratifications. If the Agreement is subject to ratification, then after agreement is reached in its entirety, and prior to agency head review, Chief of LER review, and/or Union Council President review, the Union shall have a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days in which to secure appropriate ratification from membership and/or executive boards as is appropriate to the circumstances of the particular agreement. If the Union notifies the Agency that the agreement was not ratified, the Union will provide the Agency written reasons for the ratification failure and will have fifteen (15) calendar days to request to reopen negotiations and submit their bargaining proposals. The parties will resume negotiations within 15 calendar days of the Agency’s receipt of the Union’s request to reopen negotiations.
