The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 101, covering fifty-six counties in Western Missouri and the entire state of Kansas, requires a wage and fringe benefit bond of contractors who sign its collective bargaining agreement. The bond guarantees union-scale wages and contributions to the Local's health, pension, and training funds. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum, after a one-time consent to a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Becoming or staying a signatory contractor is waiting on this bond. Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file with the fund office. Here is the whole thing:
Business details, the bond amount your CBA or the fund office set, the effective date, and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most fringe benefit bonds clear quickly; the soft pull informs approval and never touches your score. Premiums are 4% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum. Larger amounts may get a brief review.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to deliver to the IUOE Local 101 fund office to satisfy your signatory status. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
International Union of Operating Engineers Local 101 represents heavy-equipment operators across Western Missouri and Kansas. Contractors who sign the union's collective bargaining agreement agree to pay union-scale wages and to remit contributions to the Local's fringe benefit funds — health and welfare, pension, and apprenticeship training.
The fringe benefits bond backs those obligations. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 101's benefit funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor falls short on wages or fund contributions, the funds can claim against the bond up to its face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. There is no single published bond amount; the fund office or your CBA fixes the figure for your operation. Enter the amount your filing requires, and premiums are priced from a $125 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and most bonds are issued the same day.
