What is this bond?

The IBEW Local No. 468 Wage and Welfare Bond is a type of union surety bond required for certain employers in Connecticut. It guarantees that an employer will make timely and accurate payments for union members' wages, fringe benefits, and union dues. This bond acts as a financial safeguard for the electrical workers against employer default or bankruptcy.

Who needs it?

Contractors and employers in Connecticut who hire members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local No. 468 typically need this bond. It is generally required as a condition of entering into or maintaining an active collective bargaining agreement with the union.

Why is it required?

The union requires this bond to protect its members from financial losses caused by unpaid wages and unremitted benefit contributions. It ensures that the employer upholds the financial obligations stipulated in their labor contract.
