What it is and who needs it.
What the wage and fringe benefit bond actually guarantees
United Association Local 268 represents fire sprinkler fitters based in St. Louis. Contractors who sign the Local's collective bargaining agreement agree to pay union-scale wages and to remit contributions to its fringe benefit funds — health and welfare, pension, and apprenticeship training.
The wage and fringe benefit bond backs those obligations. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 268'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 $100 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
