New Jersey United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 Welfare & Pension Bond
Overview
Workers covered by Local No. 4 deserve to know their welfare and pension contributions are protected. This bond guarantees that a roofing contractor participating in the New Jersey United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 benefit funds will fulfill their obligation to remit those contributions accurately and on time. If a contractor fails to pay what is owed, the bond gives the union trust funds a path to recover those funds. It is a financial accountability tool built specifically for union contractors operating under this Local's collective bargaining agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
Roofing and waterproofing contractors who employ members of Local No. 4 in New Jersey need this bond. Any employer signatory to a collective bargaining agreement with the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 will typically be required to provide this bond as a condition of that agreement. It applies to contractors of all sizes — sole proprietors, partnerships, and incorporated businesses alike — as long as they are bound by the Local's labor agreement. If you have been asked to provide a Welfare & Pension Bond before you can continue working with union labor under Local No. 4, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the welfare and pension trust funds administered on behalf of Local No. 4 members. When a contractor signs a collective bargaining agreement, they commit to making regular contributions into these funds for every hour worked by a covered employee. The bond acts as a financial backstop, ensuring those contributions are made even if the contractor defaults, becomes insolvent, or otherwise fails to meet their obligation. Without this protection, workers could lose earned benefits they and their employer were contractually obligated to fund.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with Local No. 4 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The union trust funds require the bond to be in place before a contractor can legally employ Local No. 4 members on covered projects in New Jersey. Failure to maintain this bond can result in loss of signatory status and the ability to bid on or perform union work. If your bond has lapsed or you are a newly signatory contractor, you need to secure this bond immediately.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to contractors operating under the jurisdiction of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 in New Jersey. It is a statewide obligation tied to the Local's collective bargaining agreement, not to a specific municipal permit or state agency license. Wherever Local No. 4 members are employed on a project within the union's jurisdiction in New Jersey, this bond requirement follows.
