What it is and who needs it.
What the wage bond actually secures
IBEW Local 369 represents electrical workers across Kentucky and several Indiana counties, chartered over a century ago and now more than 2,500 members strong. A contractor who signs a Local 369 collective-bargaining or letter-of-assent agreement takes on obligations to pay covered employees the negotiated wage and fringe-benefit package for every hour worked — and the local, or the fund office it works with, can require a surety bond as security that those wages and fringes get paid.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory contractor), the surety carrier, and Local 369 or its funds (the obligee). If a covered employee is left unpaid and a claim is made, recovery runs 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.
