About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Indiana Laborers District Council (ILDC), a LiUNA-affiliated council representing ten local unions across the state, jointly administers Welfare, Pension, Training, and Central Laborers Annuity trust funds for its members. A contractor who signs the council's collective bargaining agreement to hire union laborers agrees to make regular monthly contributions to these funds for every hour worked.

The fringe-benefits bond backs that promise. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal) as the signatory contractor, the surety carrier, and the ILDC trust funds as the obligee. If a signatory contractor falls behind on contributions owed under the agreement, the trust funds can make a claim against the bond up to its $30,000 limit.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your signatory status, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $30,000 filing continuous.

Indiana Laborers District Council (ILDC) — collective bargaining agreementThe Indiana Laborers District Council requires a signatory contractor to post a $30,000 fringe-benefits bond covering the Welfare, Pension, Training, and ILDC trust funds as a condition of its collective bargaining agreement — not a state statute. We could not independently verify a specific bonding-clause section number, so this page names the district council rather than a citation. Confirm the current bond amount and reporting requirements with the ILDC (inldc@inldc.org) before you buy — we will issue whichever amount applies.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Indiana Laborers fringe-benefits bond?The premium is $1,200 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every signatory contractor. The $30,000 bond amount is set by the Indiana Laborers District Council collective bargaining agreement, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $30,000?No. You pay $1,200. The $30,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?Bonds at a fixed amount like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
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 does the bond guarantee?It guarantees your contributions to the ILDC's Welfare, Pension, Training, and Central Laborers Annuity trust funds under the collective bargaining agreement — not your general business conduct.
