Oregon - Sheet Metal Trust Funds ($10,000) — required surety bond in Oregon. Apply online in minutes.
An Oregon Sheet Metal Trust Funds bond is a financial guarantee ensuring an employer makes required contributions to union trust programs. It serves as a safety net to protect union members' fringe benefits, pensions, and health and welfare funds. If the employer defaults on these payments, the bond provides a source of financial recovery for the trust.
Contractors and employers operating in Oregon who hire unionized sheet metal workers typically need this bond. It is generally required for employers who are signatory to a collective bargaining agreement with the local sheet metal workers' union. Specific requirements vary, so employers should verify their exact bonding needs with the union or issuing trust fund.
The obligee requires this bond to protect the financial stability of the union's benefit programs, such as health insurance and retirement plans. It guarantees that employers will honor their contractual obligations regarding fringe benefit contributions for their workers. Because requirements vary, applicants should always verify specific bonding mandates directly with the issuing agency.
