About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fringe-benefits bond actually covers

A union wage-and-welfare bond — here, a fringe-benefits bond — is a condition of the Collective Bargaining Agreement a contractor signs with UA Local 562, the plumbers and pipefitters local serving the St. Louis metro and eastern Missouri. It is a private contractual requirement between the employer and the union, not a state-law filing, so no Missouri statute governs it.

The bond names the Local's Welfare Educational Fund, Supplemental Pension Fund, and Pension Fund as obligee. If a signatory contractor fails to pay the wages, health-and-welfare contributions, pension contributions, or other fringe benefits its agreement obligates it to remit for covered members' hours worked, the trust funds can make a claim against the bond, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for the contractor — if the surety pays a claim, the contractor repays the surety. The amount is set by the terms of your signatory agreement with Local 562, generally sized to the fringe-benefit obligations your workforce and contract volume will generate over the bond term; enter the figure the union's agreement specifies and we price it from there.
