A painting or drywall contractor signatory to Painters District Council No. 58 is required, under Article XIII (Wage and Benefit Bond) of the district council's working agreement, to post security — commonly a $15,000 surety bond, or a certificate of deposit with the council — guaranteeing wages, dues check-off, and fringe benefit contributions. This is a private contractual requirement of the union agreement, not an Illinois statute. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
















No long underwriting queue for the standard union wage-and-fringe bond — enter your amount, consent to the soft pull, and deliver the bond to the district council. Here is the whole thing:
Your company details, the bond amount your working agreement specified (commonly $15,000), and the effective date — plus a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.
Most wage-and-fringe-benefits bonds clear instantly; the soft pull informs approval and never affects your score. Pricing is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to deliver to Painters District Council No. 58 per Article XIII. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The Painters District Council No. 58 wage-and-fringe-benefits bond is the security a signatory employer posts under Article XIII (Wage and Benefit Bond) of the council's working agreement — a condition of the union contract, not a state licensing statute. It guarantees payment of wages, administrative dues check-off, and contributions to the fringe benefit plans the working agreement makes obligatory.
It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (principal), the surety carrier, and Painters District Council No. 58 or its fringe benefit funds (obligee), protecting covered painters, drywall finishers, and glaziers across the council's Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee jurisdiction. If an employer fails to pay wages or remit fund contributions, the council can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, the employer repays the surety.
The working agreement commonly sets the security at $15,000, with the option for an employer unable to post a bond of that size to instead pay 10% above the amounts due each month into the fringe benefit and dues check-off funds. Enter the amount your council specified; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum after a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only. It never affects your score, and your price — from a $100 minimum — is set at application.
