What it is and who needs it.
What the Carpenters Local 2232 wage and welfare bond actually guarantees
A wage and welfare bond is the financial guarantee a union local requires of a signatory contractor: a contractor bound by a collective bargaining agreement to employ covered millwrights or carpenters. Local 2232, based in Pasadena, TX, is a millwrights local affiliated with the Southern Regional Council of Carpenters, which represents members across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. This bond form fixes the required amount at $50,000.
It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (the principal), the surety carrier, and Local 2232 or its wage and welfare trust funds (the obligee), protecting the covered workers whose wages and benefit contributions depend on the contractor actually paying them. If a signatory contractor falls short, the union can claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety.
This is a private contractual requirement created by the collective bargaining agreement — not a Texas statute. The $50,000 amount and the $2,000 premium are fixed for this bond form; if your agreement calls for a different amount, confirm it with Local 2232 or your fund administrator before applying.
