About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wage and welfare bond actually guarantees

A wage and welfare bond is a condition of the collective bargaining agreement between a signatory concrete finishing contractor and Cement Masons Local No. 527, a non-for-profit labor organization chartered by the Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons International Union, covering the greater St. Louis area. 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 local’s trust funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor fails to remit the wages or the health, welfare, and pension trust fund contributions 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. Enter the figure Local No. 527 gave you; your premium is priced at 4% of that amount, $1,000 minimum, after a one-time soft credit consent that does not affect your score.
