Michigan Painters District Council No. 22 Wage and Welfare Bond
Overview
Get bonded and keep your painting work flowing under Michigan Painters District Council No. 22 jurisdiction. This bond guarantees that employers covered by the Council's collective bargaining agreements will pay workers their earned wages and make required fringe benefit contributions on time. Contractors who fall short on those obligations expose themselves to a bond claim — and losing the ability to operate under the union agreement. Having this bond in place signals to the Council that you are a credible, compliant signatory employer.
Who Needs This Bond?
Painting contractors and employers who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Michigan Painters District Council No. 22 are the primary applicants. If your company employs journeymen or apprentice painters represented by the Council anywhere in Michigan, this bond is part of your agreement obligations. It is not optional — the Council requires it before you can put union labor to work under the contract. Subcontractors brought onto covered jobs may also need to establish their own bond before crews are dispatched.
What is this Bond For?
Michigan Painters District Council No. 22 uses this bond to protect its members' wages and welfare fund contributions. If a signatory employer fails to pay earned wages or skips required payments into health, pension, vacation, or other fringe benefit funds, the Council or trust fund trustees can file a claim against the bond. The bond covers that financial gap so workers are made whole. It places real financial accountability on the employer, not just a promise.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with Michigan Painters District Council No. 22 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before the Council will dispatch union painters to your job sites, proof of the bond must be in place. Renewal of the bond is equally critical — a lapse mid-project can trigger a work stoppage and put your agreement in jeopardy. New contractors entering the union painting market in Michigan face this requirement from day one.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Michigan under the authority of Michigan Painters District Council No. 22. Its reach follows the geographic jurisdiction defined in your collective bargaining agreement with the Council. Any job site in Michigan where you employ painters covered by the Council's agreement falls within the bond's scope.
