About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wage and trust fund bond actually guarantees

A wage and trust fund bond is a condition of the collective bargaining agreement between a signatory masonry contractor and Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local Union No. 1 of Missouri, headquartered in St. Louis. It is not a Missouri statute — it is a private contractual requirement the union imposes as a condition of the CBA.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the contractor and principal), the surety carrier, and the union trust funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor fails to remit the wages, dues checkoff, or contributions owed to the pension, welfare, and apprenticeship trust funds the CBA covers, the union can claim against the bond for the shortfall, and the contractor then owes the surety.

There is no single required amount — the local fixes a sum from your anticipated covered payroll and provides the bond form directly, on a case-by-case basis. Enter the figure Local No. 1 gave you; your premium is priced at 4% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a one-time soft credit consent that does not affect your score.
