Missouri St. Louis Plumbing Laborers Local 42 & 110 Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Plumbing contractors in Missouri who employ members of Laborers Local 42 or Local 110 are required to carry this Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond before putting those workers on the job. It guarantees that wages, health contributions, pension payments, and other fringe benefits owed under the applicable collective bargaining agreement will actually be paid. If the employer falls short, the bond stands behind those obligations — protecting the workers and the union funds. Bond Titan makes it easy to get this bond online without waiting on an agent.
Who Needs This Bond?
Missouri-based plumbing contractors who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Plumbing Laborers Local 42 or Local 110 need this bond. That includes general plumbing firms employing union laborers on commercial projects, specialty sewer and gas contractors working under union agreements in the St. Louis area, and any employer signatory to the Local 42 or Local 110 CBA who hires covered workers. If your company is new to the union agreement or is renewing its signatory status, this bond is part of the requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the wage and fringe benefit funds administered on behalf of Plumbing Laborers Local 42 and Local 110 members. When a signatory contractor fails to remit wages or benefit contributions — such as health insurance, pension, vacation, or training fund payments — the bond provides a financial backstop. The union or the benefit fund trustees can make a claim against the bond to recover what workers are owed. It keeps union contractors accountable to the agreements they signed.
When is it Required?
Before a contractor begins employing covered laborers under the Local 42 or Local 110 collective bargaining agreement, this bond must be in place. The requirement typically surfaces when you first execute your signatory agreement with the union or when the union's trust funds request updated bond documentation. Some contractors also face a renewal demand at the start of each contract year. Either way, the bond must be active before work begins — not after.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Missouri but is specifically tied to the jurisdiction of Plumbing Laborers Local 42 and Local 110, which primarily covers the St. Louis metropolitan area and surrounding Missouri counties. It does not substitute for any state-level plumbing license bond required by Missouri licensing authorities. It is a separate union-imposed requirement that travels with your signatory status, not your state license.
