Who Needs This Bond?
Plumbing and pipefitting contractors operating under a Local No. 577 collective bargaining agreement are the principals on this bond. If your company employs union plumbers or pipefitters covered by Local No. 577 and you are obligated to remit wages, health contributions, pension contributions, or other welfare fund payments, this bond applies to you. It is not a general contractor bond — it is specific to employers bound by the Local No. 577 agreement. If your labor agreement references a wage and welfare bond requirement, this is the one you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a covered contractor will fulfill all wage and fringe benefit obligations owed to workers and to the benefit funds administered under Local No. 577. If a contractor fails to pay wages or remit required welfare contributions, the bond provides a financial backstop that the union or its funds can draw against. It is a worker protection mechanism built into the collective bargaining structure — not a license bond. The bond holds the contractor accountable to the financial commitments they made when they signed onto the Local No. 577 agreement.
When is it Required?
Signing or renewing a collective bargaining agreement with Local No. 577 of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before your company can dispatch or employ journeymen plumbers or pipefitters under the union agreement, the bond must be in force. If your bond lapses mid-agreement, you are out of compliance with your labor obligations immediately. Buy or renew this bond before your agreement effective date — not after.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is required statewide in Ohio for employers party to the Local No. 577 Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry collective bargaining agreement. It is not issued by a state licensing agency — it is a labor agreement requirement enforced by the union and its associated benefit funds. Wherever in Ohio your crew works under the Local No. 577 agreement, this bond must be active.
