Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors and employers operating under collective bargaining agreements tied to Southwest Washington trust funds need this bond. If your Oregon business employs union workers whose benefit contributions flow into S.W. Washington-administered funds — including health, welfare, pension, or training trusts — you are the principal on this bond. The trust funds themselves serve as the obligee, requiring the bond as a condition of your participation. If a union hall, trust administrator, or labor agreement has told you this bond is required, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the S.W. Washington trust funds from losses caused by an employer's failure to remit required contributions. If a participating contractor misses payments for health benefits, pension, vacation, or training fund obligations, the bond gives the trust funds a financial backstop to recover those amounts. It holds the bonded employer accountable for every dollar owed under the applicable labor agreement. Workers and their families depend on these funds being paid accurately and on time.
When is it Required?
Participation in a collective bargaining agreement that designates S.W. Washington trust funds as a beneficiary is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Trust fund administrators typically require the bond before an employer can begin work under the agreement or before contributions are accepted. If your company is signing or renewing a union contract that references these trust funds, you will need this bond in hand before work begins. Do not wait until the first payroll cycle — get bonded before you start.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is filed and operative in Oregon, covering employers whose workforces participate in S.W. Washington trust funds under Oregon-based labor agreements. The bond requirement is driven by the trust fund administrators, not a state licensing agency, making it a labor-agreement obligation rather than a state license condition. Work performed in Oregon under contracts referencing these trust funds falls within the bond's scope.
