New York Painters District Council No. 4 Health and Welfare Fund (Partnership) Bond
Overview
Painting contractors organized as partnerships in New York need this bond to participate in work covered by Painters District Council No. 4. It guarantees that the partnership will meet its contribution obligations to the Health and Welfare Fund on behalf of its employees. Without it, a partnership cannot legally perform union-affiliated painting work under District Council No. 4's jurisdiction. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded and get back to work.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your painting partnership has been told it must post a Health and Welfare Fund bond before District Council No. 4 will authorize your work. This bond is specifically required of partnership-structured painting businesses — not sole proprietors or corporations — operating under a collective bargaining agreement with Painters District Council No. 4 in New York. If your partnership employs union painters covered by the District Council No. 4 agreement, this is your bond. It protects the Fund, not your business.
What is this Bond For?
Painters District Council No. 4 administers health and welfare benefits for union painters across its New York jurisdiction. This bond ensures your partnership will make required contributions to the Health and Welfare Fund on time and in full. If your partnership fails to remit those contributions, the Fund has a financial guarantee to draw against. The bond exists to protect workers' benefits — not to protect the partnership that purchases it.
When is it Required?
Before your partnership can begin any union painting work under District Council No. 4's jurisdiction, this bond must already be in place. The Fund and the union will not authorize work or recognize your partnership's agreement without it. Do not wait until a job starts — secure this bond before you sign agreements or dispatch workers. Delays in bonding mean delays in work.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies throughout the jurisdiction of Painters District Council No. 4 in New York State. It is tied to the union's collective bargaining structure, not a single city or county line. Any partnership performing painting work under a District Council No. 4 agreement must maintain this bond regardless of which specific job site or county the work occurs in.
