What is this bond?

The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental & Reinforcing Iron Workers Local No. 1 bond is a type of union wage and welfare bond. It serves as a financial guarantee that signatory contractors will properly remit union dues, employee wages, and fringe benefits as outlined in their collective bargaining agreement. If a contractor defaults on these obligations, the bond provides a mechanism for the union to recover the unpaid funds.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for construction contractors and employers who hire members of the Iron Workers Local No. 1 union in Illinois. Any business entering into a collective bargaining agreement with this specific local union must usually secure this coverage before union members can be dispatched to their job sites.

Why is it required?

The union requires this bond to protect its members from the financial harm of non-paying employers. It ensures that iron workers reliably receive their earned wages, health and welfare contributions, and pension benefits on time. By mandating this bond, the union secures the financial stability of its benefit funds and minimizes the risk of wage theft.
