New York Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2 Wage & Welfare Bond
Overview
Bricklayers, masons, and allied craftworkers in New York deserve to be paid every dollar they've earned — wages, health benefits, pension contributions, and more. This bond backs that promise. Contractors who employ members of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2 are required to post a Wage & Welfare Bond as a condition of working under the union's collective bargaining agreement. It guarantees the Local and its benefit funds can recover unpaid wages and fringe benefit contributions if a contractor defaults.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor or employer who has signed a collective bargaining agreement with Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2 in New York, you need this bond. It applies to masonry and allied trade contractors who hire union members covered by Local No. 2's jurisdiction. Failure to maintain an active bond can put your ability to work union jobs — and your standing with the Local — at risk.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Local No. 2 members and the union's benefit funds by holding the contractor financially accountable for wages and fringe benefit contributions owed under the collective bargaining agreement. If a covered employer fails to pay wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, or other required fringe benefits, the Local or the benefit fund trustees can make a claim against the bond. It functions as a financial guarantee — not insurance for the employer, but protection for the workers and funds they rely on.
When is it Required?
Ongoing compliance is the rule here — this bond must remain in force for as long as you are party to a collective bargaining agreement with Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2. If the bond lapses or is cancelled, you are immediately out of compliance with your agreement, and work stoppages or loss of union labor access can follow. Contractors typically need to secure this bond at the time they sign or renew their union agreement and must keep it continuously active.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in New York, covering contractors who employ Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2 members wherever that Local's jurisdiction extends across the state. It is a union-driven requirement tied directly to Local No. 2's collective bargaining agreement, not a state agency license or permit. Your bond must name Local No. 2 as the obligee and remain on file with the union.
