New Jersey Local Union No. 322 Plumbing & Pipe Fitting Wage & Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Plumbing and pipe fitting contractors who employ members of New Jersey Local Union No. 322 need this Wage & Fringe Benefits Bond to guarantee that workers receive every dollar owed to them — wages, health contributions, pension payments, and other fringe benefits. Without it, the union has no financial backstop if an employer falls short. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded and stay in compliance with your labor agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors operating under a collective bargaining agreement with New Jersey Local Union No. 322 are the principals on this bond. If your company employs journeymen or apprentice plumbers and pipe fitters covered by the Local 322 CBA, you are required to maintain this bond. It applies to plumbing, mechanical, and pipe fitting firms working anywhere in New Jersey under that agreement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect union members — the workers — from wage theft and benefit shortfalls. If a contributing employer fails to remit agreed wages or fringe benefit contributions, the bond provides a financial remedy for the union and its members. It holds contractors accountable to every monetary obligation spelled out in the Local Union No. 322 collective bargaining agreement.
When is it Required?
Signing or renewing a collective bargaining agreement with Local Union No. 322 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Your obligation to carry it runs for as long as you employ covered workers under that agreement. Letting the bond lapse while workers remain on your payroll puts you in immediate breach of your labor contract.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide New Jersey requirement tied directly to your labor agreement with Local Union No. 322. It is not a state license bond issued by a government agency — it is a contractual surety obligation to the union. Any plumbing or pipe fitting work performed anywhere in New Jersey under the Local 322 CBA falls within its scope.
