What it is and who needs it.
What the fund bond actually secures
IBEW Local 369 represents electrical workers across Kentucky and several Indiana counties, with its benefit funds administered out of a fund office in Louisville. A contractor who signs a Local 369 collective-bargaining or letter-of-assent agreement takes on contribution obligations to the union's health, benefit, and retirement funds for every hour its covered employees work — and the local, or the fund office it works with, can require a surety bond as security that those contributions get paid.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory contractor), the surety carrier, and Local 369 or its benefit funds (the obligee). If contributions go unpaid and a claim is made, the fund recovers against the bond up to its penal sum — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. This is a private, contract-based requirement, not a Kentucky statute.
The bond amount is whatever Local 369 or the fund office specifies in your signatory paperwork — there is no fixed statewide figure. Confirm the amount with the fund office before applying; we issue whatever the agreement requires, from $100.
