Ohio Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Local No. 24 Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Get bonded and demonstrate to Ohio Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Local No. 24 that your workers will be paid every dollar they are owed — wages and fringe benefits alike. This bond backs your promise to honor the wage and benefit obligations set by the union agreement. Sheet metal contractors working under Local No. 24's jurisdiction in Ohio must carry this bond to stay in compliance and keep projects moving. Without it, you cannot legally employ Local No. 24 members on covered work.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a sheet metal contractor in Ohio who employs — or intends to employ — members of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Local No. 24, this bond is your obligation. Union signatory employers are required to post this bond as a condition of the collective bargaining agreement with Local No. 24. It applies whether you are a long-standing signatory contractor or a new employer just entering into the agreement. Any contractor who hires Local No. 24 members on covered projects must be bonded before work begins.
What is this Bond For?
Local No. 24 requires this bond to protect its members from unpaid wages and fringe benefit contributions — including health, pension, and other benefit fund payments owed under the collective bargaining agreement. If a signatory contractor fails to pay wages earned or remit required fringe benefit contributions, the bond provides a financial backstop so workers and benefit funds can recover what they are owed. It holds contractors accountable to the specific payment obligations established in the union contract. The bond is a financial guarantee, not insurance for the employer.
When is it Required?
Ongoing compliance is the core issue here — this bond must remain in force for as long as you are a signatory employer under the Local No. 24 collective bargaining agreement. It is typically required at the time you first enter the agreement and must be renewed or maintained without lapse. Any gap in coverage can jeopardize your standing with the union and your ability to assign Local No. 24 members to projects. Treat renewal as a standing obligation tied to your contract status, not a one-time administrative task.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Ohio wherever Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Local No. 24 has jurisdiction over covered work. It is a union-mandated requirement specific to Local No. 24's collective bargaining agreement — not a state agency license requirement. Contractors performing sheet metal work under this agreement anywhere within Local No. 24's geographic coverage area in Ohio must carry this bond.
