About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wage and welfare bond actually guarantees

Plumbers and Pipefitters Local No. 452 is a Kentucky affiliate of the United Association of plumbers, pipefitters, and related trades. When a contractor signs the union’s collective bargaining agreement to employ Local 452 members, it also agrees to make regular wage, pension, health, and other fringe-benefit contributions to the union’s wage and welfare trust funds on their behalf.

A wage and welfare bond is a private, contractual requirement — not a state statute — that some signatory contractors are asked to post so the trust funds have a surety backstop if the contractor falls behind on its contribution obligations. It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (principal), the surety, and the trust funds (obligee), protecting the workers whose wages and benefits depend on those contributions.

There is no single statewide amount — the bond amount is set by your specific agreement with Local 452 or the trust funds administering the collective bargaining agreement. If the trust funds go unpaid and a claim is made, the trust funds can recover against the bond up to its amount — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety. Enter the figure your agreement requires; we price the bond from a $100 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
