About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local Union No. 23 represents bricklaying, masonry, stone, and tile craftworkers across a jurisdiction spanning Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky (OH-WV-KY). A contractor who signs the local's collective bargaining agreement agrees to pay union-scale wages and to remit contributions to its fringe benefit trust funds — health & welfare, pension, and apprenticeship training.

The wage and welfare bond backs those obligations. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 23's wage and fringe benefit trust funds (the obligee and protected parties). If a signatory contractor falls short on covered wages or fund contributions, the trust funds can recover against the bond, up to its $50,000 limit at this tier.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This is a private contractual requirement of the collective bargaining agreement, not an Ohio statute. Local 23 sets the bond amount per contractor based on the classification and scope of work assigned under the agreement; this page is the $50,000 tier. We also write the $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000 tiers if yours is different.
