Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor or employer who has signed a collective bargaining agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local Union 312 in North Carolina, this bond is required of you. It applies to signatory employers who dispatch or employ carpenters and joiners under the Local 312 agreement.

What is this Bond For?
Local Union 312 uses this bond to protect its members — the carpenters and joiners you employ — ensuring they receive every dollar of wages, pension contributions, health and welfare payments, and other fringe benefits they are owed under the collective bargaining agreement. If a signatory employer fails to make those payments, the bond provides a financial remedy for the union and its members. It holds employers accountable to the labor standards and contribution schedules outlined in the agreement. Without it, Local Union 312 has no assurance that workers' earned benefits will be honored.
When is it Required?

The requirement is triggered at the time you enter into or renew your labor agreement with Local Union 312. Any lapse in bond coverage can be treated as a breach of the agreement and may result in loss of access to union labor.
