IBEW Local Union No. 269 requires a signatory electrical contractor to post a wages-and-fringe-benefits bond as part of its collective bargaining agreement — security that wages and fringe-benefit-fund contributions owed on behalf of Local 269 members actually reach the union's funds. The local sets the amount your contract requires; premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, after a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, and file the executed bond with the local. Here is the whole thing:
Your company details, the bond amount Local 269 set, and the effective date — plus a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.
Most Local 269 wages-and-fringe-benefits bonds clear at application; pricing is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The credit consent authorizes a soft pull that never touches your score. Larger amounts may get a brief review.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the local's fringe-benefit-fund office. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
A wages-and-fringe-benefits bond is the security a building-trades union asks a signatory employer to post alongside its collective bargaining agreement. IBEW Local Union No. 269 negotiates rates of pay and fringe-benefit contributions — health and welfare, pension, and annuity funds — on behalf of its members in the Trenton area, and the bond backs a contractor's promise to actually remit what the agreement requires.
It is a private, contractual requirement, not a New Jersey licensing statute: the arrangement runs between the contractor (the principal), the surety, and the union or its benefit funds (the obligee). If a signatory contractor falls behind on wages or fringe-benefit contributions covered by the agreement, Local 269 or the affected fund can make a claim against the bond, and the contractor then owes the surety for whatever it pays out.
There is no fixed statutory amount — the bond amount is whatever your agreement with Local 269 specifies, and it can be revisited as your union payroll changes. Enter the figure your contract requires; we price the bond at 4% of that amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including entity details and a one-time credit consent. That consent authorizes a soft pull only — it never runs a hard inquiry or touches your score.
