Massachusetts Boston Brotherhood of Painters Local No. 35 Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Contractors working under the Brotherhood of Painters Local No. 35 collective bargaining agreement need to be bonded before they can operate. This Massachusetts bond guarantees that fringe benefit contributions — health, pension, vacation, and other funds required by the union agreement — are made on time and in full. If a contractor fails to make those contributions, the bond provides a financial backstop for the benefit funds and the workers who depend on them. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get covered online.
Who Needs This Bond?
Painting contractors, drywall contractors, and finishing subcontractors who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Brotherhood of Painters Local No. 35 in Massachusetts are the primary applicants for this bond. Any employer whose workforce includes journeymen or apprentices covered under that union agreement will be required to carry this bond. If you've just signed a union contract or are renewing your labor agreement, this bond is part of your compliance obligations.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the fringe benefit trust funds administered on behalf of Local No. 35 members. Fringe benefits — including health insurance contributions, pension fund payments, annuity contributions, and vacation pay — are defined obligations under the collective bargaining agreement. When a signatory contractor falls short on those payments, the bond ensures the trust funds can recover what's owed. It protects workers' earned benefits, not just the union itself.
When is it Required?
Before you begin work under a Local No. 35 union contract, the joint labor-management committee or the union's business office will ask for proof of this bond. It is typically required at the time you sign or renew your collective bargaining agreement, and again when annual compliance is reviewed. Don't wait until a job is about to start — get bonded as soon as the union agreement is executed.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to employers operating under the Brotherhood of Painters Local No. 35 agreement in Massachusetts. It is not a state license bond issued by a government agency — it is a labor compliance bond required by the union and the benefit trust funds. Coverage applies wherever your Local No. 35-covered employees are working within the jurisdiction of that union local.
