New York District Council No. 9 Int'l Union of Painters Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Painting contractors and employers operating under New York District Council No. 9 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades need this bond before they can put union workers on a job. It guarantees that covered employees will receive every dollar of wages and every penny of fringe benefit contributions owed under the collective bargaining agreement. District Council No. 9 requires this protection as a condition of employing union painters in New York. Bond Titan makes it simple to get bonded and stay compliant.
Who Needs This Bond?
Commercial painting contractors, residential painting firms, and specialty coating businesses that have signed a collective bargaining agreement with District Council No. 9 in New York all need this bond. Any employer whose workers are represented by this union local is required to post the bond before labor can begin. If you've been handed a bond requirement by your union hall or business agent, this is the exact bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
District Council No. 9 is the obligee — the party protected by this bond. If a covered employer fails to pay wages or remit fringe benefit contributions such as health, pension, or annuity funds as required by the collective bargaining agreement, the union can make a claim against the bond. Workers and benefit funds are made whole up to the bond amount. This bond does not protect the employer — it protects the workers and the union trust funds.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with District Council No. 9 or preparing to hire union painters under an existing agreement is the point at which the bond is requested. Your union business agent or the District Council's compliance office will ask for proof of bond before you dispatch any covered workers. Renewing an expired bond or replacing a canceled one triggers the same requirement — work cannot legally proceed without active coverage in place.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond operates under the jurisdiction of New York District Council No. 9 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades and applies to employers using union labor anywhere within the council's geographic jurisdiction in New York State. It is a labor-relations requirement, not a state license bond, and is enforced through the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Any job site where District Council No. 9 members are employed falls under the bond's coverage.
