Kansas International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Field Dues and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Are you a boilermaker contractor or signatory employer in Kansas required to post a bond before your crew starts field work? This bond protects the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers by guaranteeing that field dues and fringe benefit contributions are paid as required under your labor agreement. If those obligations go unpaid, the union has a financial guarantee to fall back on. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get bonded and stay compliant.
Who Needs This Bond?
Signatory contractors, mechanical construction firms, and industrial employers who hire Boilermakers union members on Kansas job sites are the primary applicants for this bond. If your company has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and you perform field work in Kansas, your labor agreement likely requires this bond before work begins. Any employer responsible for remitting field dues and fringe benefit contributions on behalf of union members falls squarely within the scope of this requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a Kansas employer will fulfill its contractual obligation to remit field dues and fringe benefit contributions owed to the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. Fringe benefits covered typically include pension, health and welfare, vacation, and similar funds established under the collective bargaining agreement. If the employer defaults on those payments, the union or its affiliated funds can make a claim against the bond to recover what is owed. It is a financial backstop that protects workers and the union from non-payment.
When is it Required?
Before field work commences under a Boilermakers collective bargaining agreement in Kansas, the signatory employer is typically asked to provide this bond as a condition of the labor agreement itself. The requirement is usually surfaced when you sign or renew your agreement with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, or when you are awarded a project that requires union Boilermakers labor. Getting bonded at that moment — before your crew mobilizes — keeps your project on schedule and your agreement in good standing.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide throughout Kansas wherever Boilermakers union members are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. It is not tied to a specific city permit or county license — it is a labor agreement requirement that travels with your work across Kansas job sites. Any field work in the state performed under a Boilermakers agreement falls within the scope of this bond.
