What it is and who needs it.
What the field dues bond actually guarantees
Boilermakers Local Lodge No. 83 is an affiliate of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers. It is headquartered in Kansas City, and its territorial jurisdiction covers all of Kansas along with western Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. Employers who sign Local 83's collective bargaining agreement agree to check off field dues from covered wages and to remit contributions to the local's fringe benefit trusts — health & welfare, pension, annuity, and apprenticeship/training funds administered through the Boilermakers National Funds.
The field dues and fringe benefits bond backs those obligations for a signatory employer. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Boilermakers Local Lodge No. 83 and its benefit trusts (the obligee / protected parties). If a signatory employer fails to remit dues or fund contributions, the local and its trusts can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This is a private contractual requirement of the collective bargaining agreement, not a Kansas statute, so the amount is set per employer by the local rather than a fixed public figure. Enter the amount your signatory agreement calls for; premiums price at 4% of that amount, $100 minimum, and the application includes a credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.

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 the local. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with Boilermakers Local 83 so your signatory status stays current. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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, then a quick review.
