A contractor signing the Collective Bargaining Agreement of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local No. 2 — based in the St. Louis metro — posts a $50,000 surety bond naming the Local's Welfare Fund as obligee, guaranteeing payment of the wages and welfare-fund contributions the agreement requires. Ours is $2,000 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score.
















Filing the Local 2 welfare-fund bond is about the simplest thing in surety once you're signatory. Here's the entire process:
Business details, a one-time soft-pull consent, and an effective date — that's the application.
Bonds at this fixed tier are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to hand to Roofers Local 2's Welfare Fund. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A union wage-and-welfare bond is a condition of the Collective Bargaining Agreement a roofing contractor signs with the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local No. 2, based in the St. Louis metro. It is a private contractual requirement between the employer and the union, not a Missouri statute, so no Missouri code section is cited here.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the signatory contractor, the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 2's Welfare Fund (the obligee), with covered union members as the protected parties. If a signatory contractor fails to pay the wages or welfare-fund contributions the agreement requires for covered members' hours, the Welfare Fund can recover against the bond, up to $50,000.
It is not insurance for the contractor — if the surety pays a claim, the contractor repays the surety. The bond must stay current for as long as the contractor remains signatory, so we track the term and notify you ahead of renewal.
These are the actual issuing fields, including the soft-pull consent this application requires.
