Any contractor signatory to a collective bargaining agreement with the Indiana Laborers District Council (ILDC) must post a $30,000 bond guaranteeing contributions to the Welfare, Pension, Training, and ILDC trust funds administered for the council's ten Indiana local unions. Ours is $1,200 flat — the price you see is the checkout price.
















Union wage and fringe-benefit bonds are about the simplest thing in surety once the amount is fixed. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, and only a soft pull if one ever runs.
Bonds at a fixed amount like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Indiana Laborers District Council or its trust fund office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application only runs a soft pull if a check is ever needed.
