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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your local's business office. Submit the executed bond as part of your signatory paperwork. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the local insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, issued on the spot.
