About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

IBEW Local No. 134, the electrical workers' union based in Chicago, requires signatory employers to post a wage bond as a condition of their collective bargaining agreement. The bond guarantees payment of wages and fringe-benefit fund contributions — pension, health and welfare, and working dues — owed to Local 134 members the employer engages.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory employer), the surety carrier, and IBEW Local No. 134 (the obligee), with the union's members as the protected parties. If a bonded employer fails to pay wages or fund contributions the agreement requires, Local 134 can make a claim against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This is Local 134's bond tier for employers with 6 to 10 union employees; the bond amount scales with crew size under the union's schedule, and we can quote the tier above or below if your headcount changes.

IBEW Local No. 134 wage bond scheduleThis is a private contractual requirement, not a state statute — IBEW Local No. 134's collective bargaining agreement conditions signatory status on a wage-and-benefit bond, with the $100,000 amount set by the union's schedule for employers of 6 to 10 employees. Confirm your exact crew-size tier and current bond form with Local 134, at 2722 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Chicago.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the IBEW Local 134 employer wage bond for 6 to 10 employees?The premium is $4,000 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond once underwriting clears. The $100,000 bond amount is fixed by Local 134's schedule for this crew-size tier, so there is no separate quote process.
Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $4,000. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if Local 134 makes a valid wage or fringe-benefit claim — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?This bond runs through carrier underwriting rather than instant issue — most employers with a clean history clear within 1–2 business days of a complete application.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
What if my crew grows past 10 employees?Then you move to Local 134's next wage-bond tier. Tell us your new headcount and we re-issue at the amount that matches your current crew size.
