What is this bond?

The Operating Engineers Local No. 139 Wage Welfare Bond is a type of union bond required from employers in Wisconsin who hire members of this specific union. It guarantees that the employer will properly and punctually pay all agreed-upon wages, fringe benefits, and union dues. If the employer defaults on these financial obligations, the bond provides a mechanism of financial protection for the union members.

Who needs it?

Contractors and construction businesses employing members of the Operating Engineers Local No. 139 union typically need to secure this bond. It is generally required by the union before a contractor can formalize a collective bargaining agreement.

Why is it required?
