What is this bond?

The IBEW Local No. 102 Wage and Benefit Bond is a financial guarantee required from employers who hire union members under a collective bargaining agreement. It ensures that the employer fulfills their contractual obligations to pay proper wages, union dues, and fringe benefits. If the employer defaults on these payments, the bond provides a mechanism to compensate the union and its electrical workers.

Who needs it?

Electrical contractors and employers who enter into a labor agreement with IBEW Local No. 102 in New Jersey typically need to secure this bond. It is generally required before union electricians can be dispatched to a job site. Because requirements vary based on the size of the workforce and the specific contract, employers should verify their exact bonding needs with the union.

Why is it required?

IBEW Local No. 102 requires this bond to protect its members from financial loss if a contractor fails to pay wages or make required contributions to health, welfare, or pension funds. The bond guarantees that a third-party surety company will step in to cover these unpaid dues and benefits up to the bond's penal sum. This mandate provides essential financial security and stability for union workers and their families.
