What it is and who needs it.
What the Local 453 wage and welfare bond actually covers
IBEW Local Union No. 453, based in Springfield since 1929, represents electrical workers across a 17-county jurisdiction in Southwest Missouri, working under collective bargaining agreements with signatory electrical contractors.
The wage and welfare bond backs a signatory contractor's obligation to pay union-scale wages and remit contributions to the jointly administered Local 453 benefit funds. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 453 and its benefit funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor fails to pay covered wages or remit fund contributions, the funds can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.
The amount is set for your specific signatory agreement rather than published as one fixed figure across every contractor. Enter the bond amount your agreement or the fund trustees require; we price it from a $100 minimum, and the credit consent in the application authorizes a soft pull only that never touches your score.
