Ohio Painters District Council No. 6 Wage and Welfare Bond
Overview
Working in Ohio under the jurisdiction of Painters District Council No. 6? If you are a painting contractor who employs union workers covered by PDC No. 6's collective bargaining agreement, this bond is a condition of that agreement. It guarantees that you will pay wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, and other fringe benefits owed to covered employees and their funds. Failing to post this bond means you cannot legally operate under the union agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
You are a painting contractor in Ohio who has signed or is signing a collective bargaining agreement with Painters District Council No. 6. That agreement requires you to post this Wage and Welfare Bond before you put union painters to work. The bond protects the union trust funds and individual workers if you fall short on payroll or benefit contributions. It is not a state license bond — it is a labor-agreement bond required by the union itself.
What is this Bond For?
This bond secures your obligation as a painting contractor to make every required wage payment and fringe-benefit contribution under your PDC No. 6 collective bargaining agreement. The beneficiaries are the union trust funds — covering health, welfare, pension, and similar benefit programs — as well as any covered workers who are owed wages. If you fail to pay, the bond gives the union and trust funds a financial backstop to recover what is owed. It holds you accountable to the terms you agreed to when you signed the union contract.
When is it Required?
Before your painters ever set foot on a union jobsite, this bond must already be in place. Painters District Council No. 6 requires the bond as a precondition to working under the collective bargaining agreement — not after work begins. If you are a new signatory contractor, the bond comes first. If your existing bond lapses, you are out of compliance with your CBA until a new bond is issued.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies throughout the geographic jurisdiction of Ohio Painters District Council No. 6, which covers union painting work performed by contractors signatory to PDC No. 6's collective bargaining agreement. It is not a statewide license requirement administered by a state agency — it is a union-contract requirement that travels with the work wherever PDC No. 6 has jurisdiction in Ohio. The obligee is Painters District Council No. 6 and its associated trust funds.
