What is this bond?

The California Union of Elevator Constructors Wage and Fringe Bond is a type of commercial surety bond required by local union chapters or trust funds. It guarantees that signatory elevator contractors will pay all agreed-upon wages, fringe benefits, and union dues on time. If the contractor defaults on these financial obligations, the bond provides a mechanism for the union to recover the missing funds for its members.

Who needs it?

Elevator construction, maintenance, and repair contractors operating in California who employ members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors generally need this bond. It is typically required before a contractor can sign a collective bargaining agreement or begin union-affiliated work. Specific requirements vary by local union chapter, so contractors should verify their exact bonding needs directly with the union.

Why is it required?

Union trust funds and local chapters require this bond to protect their members' financial well-being and ensure compliance with collective bargaining agreements. By mandating the bond, the union ensures that employee compensation, health benefits, and retirement contributions are secure even if the contractor faces financial difficulty. It acts as a financial safety net for the workers performing the labor.
