What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Sheet Metal Workers' International Association Local Union No. 24, based at 3035 Lamb Road in Columbus, represents sheet metal workers across central Ohio. A contractor who signs its collective bargaining agreement agrees to pay a negotiated wage scale and to remit dues checkoff and contributions to Local 24's Vacation Plan, Building Fund, and related pension, welfare, and apprenticeship/journeymen training funds. A wage and fringe benefits bond is the security a contractor posts to back that promise.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local Union No. 24 as obligee, for the use and benefit of the covered employees and funds as claimants. If a signatory contractor fails to pay wages or the required deductions and contributions, a claimant can sue on the bond, after giving the notice its terms require, to recover what is owed. This is the $20,000 classification tier; the bond is continuous and can be cancelled with 60 days' written notice.
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 24 sets the bond amount per contractor classification, so confirm which tier your signatory agreement calls for before filing.
