What is this bond?

This bond acts as a financial guarantee between a contractor and the Chicago and Northeast Illinois District Council of Carpenters. It ensures that the employer makes all required payments for union wages, fringe benefits, and union dues as outlined in their collective bargaining agreement. If the contractor defaults on these obligations, the bond provides a source of funds to compensate the workers and union trust funds.

Who needs it?

Construction contractors and employers who hire union carpenters from this specific district council typically need this bond. It is generally required before a contractor can finalize a collective bargaining agreement or employ union members on their projects.

Why is it required?

The union requires this bond to protect its members and the associated health, welfare, and pension funds from financial loss. It guarantees that workers will receive their rightfully earned wages and benefits even if the employing contractor experiences financial difficulties or insolvency.
