Oklahoma Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 124 Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Sheet metal contractors in Oklahoma who employ workers under Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 124 need this bond before they can operate under a union labor agreement. It guarantees that covered employees will receive all wages and fringe benefits — including health, pension, and other benefit contributions — owed to them under the collective bargaining agreement. Failing to post this bond can block a signatory contractor from working union jobs in the state. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get bonded online.
Who Needs This Bond?
Signatory sheet metal contractors, HVAC fabrication shops, and mechanical subcontractors working under a collective bargaining agreement with Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 124 all need this bond. If your company hires union sheet metal workers covered by Local 124's agreement and you have signed onto that CBA, you are the principal. Any Oklahoma contractor who becomes a signatory employer — whether a sole proprietor or a multi-crew operation — must secure this bond as a condition of the agreement.
What is this Bond For?
Local 124 requires this bond to protect its members from unpaid wages and delinquent fringe benefit contributions. If a signatory contractor fails to pay earned wages or skips required contributions to health, pension, or other benefit funds, the union can make a claim against the bond to recover those funds on behalf of affected workers. This bond does not protect the contractor — it protects the employees and the benefit funds they rely on. It holds signatory employers financially accountable for every obligation the CBA imposes.
When is it Required?
Contractors are typically asked to post this bond when they first sign the collective bargaining agreement with Local 124 or when the union conducts a periodic compliance review. The bond must be in place before a signatory employer puts union sheet metal workers on a job site in Oklahoma. If your bond lapses or is cancelled, the union can suspend your right to use Local 124 labor until a new bond is filed and accepted.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oklahoma requirement tied specifically to the collective bargaining agreement with Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 124. It applies to any job site within the union's jurisdiction in Oklahoma where you employ Local 124 members. It is not a state government license bond — it is a contractual obligation directly between you and the union.
