Illinois Glaziers Union Local No. 27 Wage Welfare Bond
Overview
Contractors who employ glaziers in Illinois under the jurisdiction of Glaziers Union Local No. 27 are required to post this Wage & Welfare Bond before putting workers on the job. It guarantees that covered employees will receive every dollar of wages and fringe benefit contributions they are owed under the collective bargaining agreement. Without it, signatory contractors cannot legally deploy union glaziers on Illinois projects. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to secure this bond entirely online.
Who Needs This Bond?
Glazing contractors who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Illinois Glaziers Union Local No. 27 are the principals on this bond. If your company installs glass, mirrors, storefronts, or curtain wall systems using union labor covered by Local No. 27, this bond is a condition of your signatory status. Subcontractors brought onto a project under the same CBA face the same requirement. Both new signatories and renewing contractors must maintain continuous coverage.
What is this Bond For?
Glaziers Union Local No. 27 holds this bond as financial protection for its members. If a signatory contractor fails to pay wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, or other fringe benefits required by the collective bargaining agreement, the union can make a claim against the bond. Payment from the bond makes the affected workers whole up to the bond's penalty amount. It puts real teeth behind the contractor's promise to honor every term of the agreement.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with Illinois Glaziers Union Local No. 27 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. You cannot begin employing covered glaziers, bid union work, or maintain your signatory status without active bond coverage in place. The requirement continues for as long as you operate under the CBA — there is no one-time exemption. A lapse at any point puts your ability to use Local No. 27 labor at immediate risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Illinois wherever Local No. 27 jurisdiction covers glazing work. It is not a government license bond — it is a labor-relations requirement tied directly to your collective bargaining agreement with the union. Any project in the union's geographic territory where you deploy covered glaziers falls under its protection.
