Illinois United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers, Local No. 11 Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Get bonded and demonstrate to United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers, Local No. 11 that your roofing business will honor every wage and fringe benefit obligation owed to union workers. This bond is a financial guarantee that covered employees receive the pay, health benefits, pension contributions, and other agreed-upon fringe benefits they have earned.

Without it, you cannot legally put union roofers to work on your projects.
Who Needs This Bond?
Roofing contractors, waterproofing contractors, and allied trade employers in Illinois who hire workers covered by United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers, Local No. 11 need this bond. Any signatory employer — from a small residential roofing outfit to a large commercial waterproofing company — operating under a collective bargaining agreement with Local No. 11 is subject to this requirement. If your crews include Local No. 11 members anywhere in Illinois, this bond is not optional.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects union workers and the Local No. 11 benefit funds if a signatory contractor fails to pay wages or remit required fringe benefit contributions such as health insurance, pension, vacation, and apprenticeship fund payments. Local No. 11 is the obligee — it can make a claim against this bond when an employer falls short of its payment obligations under the collective bargaining agreement. The bond gives workers and the union a direct financial remedy without forcing them to pursue costly litigation first.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers, Local No. 11 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before your first Local No. 11 worker steps onto a jobsite, the bond must already be in force and on file with the union.

Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Illinois wherever a Local No. 11 collective bargaining agreement is in effect.
