About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Laborers 149/582/1035 wage & welfare bond actually guarantees

A wage-and-welfare bond is the security a Laborers local requires from a signatory contractor as part of doing business under the collective bargaining agreement — it is a condition of the union contract and the associated trust agreements, not a state licensing statute. It backstops the contractor's core obligations to the workforce: wages actually earned, union dues check-off, and contributions to the health & welfare and pension trust funds established for Locals 149, 582, and 1035.

It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (principal), the surety carrier, and the union or its trust funds (obligee), protecting the covered laborers. If a signatory contractor fails to remit wages or fund contributions as required, the trust funds or the union can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety. It is a labor-trust backstop, not general liability coverage.

There is no single statewide figure — the amount is set by the specific local's trust agreement or business agent, commonly scaled to the size of a contractor's workforce or hours reported. Enter the amount your local specified; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum after a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.
