St. Louis plumbing laborers wage & fringe bonds.
4% of the bond amount.
The Greater St. Louis Construction Laborers' Council, on behalf of LIUNA Locals 42 and 110, requires signatory contractors employing plumbing laborers to post a wage and fringe benefits bond guaranteeing payment of covered wages and fund contributions. This is a private requirement of the applicable collective bargaining agreement, not a Missouri statute. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Enter the amount your signatory agreement requires and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the wage & fringe bond actually guarantees
Plumbing contractors in the St. Louis area who employ members of LIUNA Locals 42 and 110 — the construction laborers' locals covering St. Louis City and County — sign a collective bargaining agreement with the Greater St. Louis Construction Laborers' Council. Signatory contractors agree to pay the negotiated wage scale and to remit hourly fringe contributions to the locals' benefit funds, which cover a worker once they log 275 hours in a quarter or 800 hours across four consecutive quarters.
The wage and fringe benefits bond backs those obligations. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Laborers' council and its benefit funds (the obligee / protected parties). If a signatory contractor fails to pay covered wages or remit fund contributions, the council and its funds can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This is a private contractual requirement of the applicable collective bargaining agreement, not a Missouri statute — some employers instead satisfy the requirement through membership in good standing with an approved builders' association, per the agreement's terms. Enter the amount your signatory paperwork calls for; premiums price at 4% of that amount, $100 minimum, and the application includes a credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.
