California Local Union No. 393 Health and Welfare / Benefits Bond
Overview
Employers bound by a collective bargaining agreement with California Local Union No. 393 are required to guarantee their health and welfare contributions through this surety bond. It protects union members by ensuring that benefit payments are made on time and in full, even if the contributing employer defaults. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded so you can meet your labor agreement obligations without delay.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are an employer who has signed a labor agreement with California Local Union No. 393 and are obligated to make health and welfare or benefit fund contributions on behalf of your employees, this bond is required of you. Contractors and businesses in industries where Local Union No. 393 operates — including plumbing and related trades — are the typical applicants. Your collective bargaining agreement or the union benefit fund trustees will specify the bond amount and filing requirements.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you will fulfill your contractual obligation to pay health and welfare benefit contributions into the Local Union No. 393 fund on behalf of covered employees. If contributions go unpaid, the bond gives the union's benefit fund trustees a financial remedy — they can make a claim to recover what is owed. It is a protection for workers, not a payment mechanism for you.
When is it Required?
Renewal terms are tied directly to your collective bargaining agreement with Local Union No. 393, so coverage must remain continuous for as long as you are a contributing employer under that agreement. If your bond lapses or is canceled, you may be in breach of your labor contract and unable to employ covered workers on union jobs. Keep track of your bond's effective dates and renew before expiration to avoid any gap in coverage.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a California statewide requirement driven by your labor agreement with Local Union No. 393, which operates throughout its jurisdiction in California. It is not a state-issued license bond — it is a contractual obligation administered through the union benefit fund. Coverage is specific to your obligations under the Local 393 collective bargaining agreement.
