Indiana District Council 91 of Int'l Union of Painters Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Painters and finishing trade workers in Indiana deserve assurance that wages and fringe benefits owed to them will actually be paid. This bond backs that assurance, holding signatory employers accountable to the financial commitments made under agreements with Indiana District Council 91 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. If an employer fails to pay wages or remit required benefit contributions, the bond provides a financial remedy for affected union members. It is a direct protection for workers — not just a formality.
Who Needs This Bond?
Employers who sign collective bargaining agreements with Indiana District Council 91 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades are the parties required to carry this bond. Painting contractors, drywall finishers, glaziers, and other signatory contractors operating under the Council's jurisdiction in Indiana are the typical applicants. If your company has signed or is signing a union agreement with District Council 91, you need this bond before work begins. It applies regardless of whether your operation is large or small — the obligation follows the labor agreement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that signatory employers will pay all wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, vacation funds, and other fringe benefits required under the District Council 91 collective bargaining agreement. When an employer falls short — through nonpayment, underpayment, or failure to remit benefit fund contributions — the bond provides a financial backstop for the union and its members. It holds the contractor financially responsible beyond just their own solvency. The bond exists because wages and benefit contributions belong to workers, and those obligations must be secured.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with Indiana District Council 91 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The union requires it as a condition of the labor agreement, meaning you cannot begin performing work as a signatory contractor without it in place. Renewal or entry into a new agreement may also trigger a fresh bond requirement. The obligation is contractual and union-driven — not issued by a state agency — so it must be satisfied before the agreement takes effect.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies to signatory employers performing work under Indiana District Council 91 jurisdiction throughout the state of Indiana. It is tied to the labor agreement, not to a specific city, county, or state license. Wherever in Indiana a District Council 91 signatory contractor dispatches union painters and allied trade workers, this bond's coverage follows.
