KS Boilermakers field dues bonds.
4% of the bond amount.
A contracting employer who signs on as a signatory with an International Brotherhood of Boilermakers local — in Kansas, most work falls under Local 83, headquartered in Kansas City and covering Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa — can be required to post a field dues and fringe benefits bond as a condition of the signatory agreement, securing the field dues, health and welfare, pension, and annuity contributions the agreement obligates the employer to remit. The local sets the bond amount; the premium is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, priced at application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the field dues and fringe benefits bond actually covers
A union field dues and fringe benefits bond is a contractual guarantee, not a licensing bond. When a contracting employer signs on as a signatory with an International Brotherhood of Boilermakers local — most Kansas boilermaker work is organized through Local 83, based in Kansas City and covering Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa — the local's agreement can condition employment of its members on the employer posting a bond that stands behind the field dues (commonly a percentage of gross wages) and the health & welfare, pension, and annuity fund contributions the agreement obligates the employer to remit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the local (the obligee), with the local's boilermakers and its benefit trusts as the protected parties. If a signatory employer falls behind on dues or fringe remittances, the local or its trust funds can make a claim against the bond up to its face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the bond amount your local's signatory agreement specifies and your exact price — 4% of that amount, $100 minimum — appears at the application.
