What it is and who needs it.
What the Local 513 fringe bond actually guarantees
Signing on with Glaziers, Architectural Metal & Glass Workers Local 513 (part of District Council 58 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, based in St. Louis) makes a glazing contractor responsible for remitting employee fringe-benefit contributions — Health & Welfare, Pension, Apprentice, Vacation, Holiday, and Dues Check-Off, along with the Glazier Industry Fund — on every hour worked under the agreement.
The Bonding Requirement in the agreement backs that obligation: a security bond (or cash equivalent) that the union and its benefit funds can draw against if a signatory contractor falls behind on contributions. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 513 and its funds (the obligee) — and it is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
The required amount scales with headcount: 1–5 employees = $25,000, 6–10 = $50,000, 11–15 = $75,000, and 16 or more = $150,000. Enter the tier that matches your current employee count; we price the bond from a $1,000 minimum, and the credit consent in the application authorizes a soft pull only that never touches your score.
