Michigan IBEW Local No. 252 Wage and Fringe Benefits for Residential Wiremen Bond
Overview
Get bonded and demonstrate to IBEW Local No. 252 that your electrical contracting business stands behind every dollar of wages and fringe benefits owed to Residential Wiremen working under the agreement. This bond is a financial guarantee that covered workers will be paid in full — wages, vacation, health, pension, and any other negotiated benefits. Without it, you cannot operate as a signatory employer under the Local 252 Residential Wiremen classification in Michigan.
Who Needs This Bond?
Electrical contractors in Michigan who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 252 and employ Residential Wiremen under that agreement need this bond. If your company performs residential wiring work under the Local 252 contract, the union requires this bond as a condition of that signatory relationship. It applies regardless of how many Residential Wiremen you employ — if you're signatory to the agreement, the bond obligation follows.
What is this Bond For?
IBEW Local No. 252 uses this bond to protect Residential Wiremen from wage theft and unpaid fringe benefit contributions. If a signatory contractor fails to pay wages or remit required fringe benefit contributions — such as health insurance, pension, or vacation fund payments — the union can make a claim against this bond to recover those amounts on behalf of affected workers. It puts a financially backed promise behind the obligations the contractor already accepted when signing the labor agreement.
When is it Required?
Signing or renewing your collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 252 as a Residential Wiremen employer is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Local 252 will not recognize your company as a compliant signatory contractor until the bond is in place. If you are already operating under the agreement and your bond has lapsed, you are out of compliance and must restore coverage immediately to continue employing Residential Wiremen under the union contract.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies to electrical contracting operations in Michigan under the jurisdiction of IBEW Local No. 252. It specifically covers Residential Wiremen classifications as defined in the applicable Local 252 collective bargaining agreement. It is a union-mandated bond requirement, not a state license bond issued by a Michigan state agency.
