Who Needs This Bond?

What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a signatory employer will pay all wages earned by covered workers and will remit all required contributions to the trust funds established under the collective bargaining agreement with Local Nos. 264 and 1290.

It is a financial safety net that keeps workers and their benefit funds protected.
When is it Required?
