Pennsylvania Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 1 Wage & Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview

Who Needs This Bond?
Masonry contractors, tile and marble installers, and restoration contractors in Pennsylvania who sign or operate under a collective bargaining agreement with Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 1 need this bond. If your company employs journeymen or apprentices affiliated with BAC Local No. 1 on any jobsite in the commonwealth, the CBA likely requires this bond as a condition of that relationship. General contractors who self-perform masonry work under a BAC agreement are equally subject to the requirement.
What is this Bond For?
Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 1 uses this bond as a financial backstop to protect its members' earned compensation. If a signatory contractor fails to remit wages, health fund contributions, pension payments, apprenticeship fund payments, or other fringe benefits required under the CBA, the union or its benefit funds can make a claim against the bond. The bond holds the contractor accountable for every obligation spelled out in the collective bargaining agreement — not just base pay. It is a labor-side protection tool, not a general liability policy.
When is it Required?
Execution of the collective bargaining agreement with BAC Local No. 1 is typically the moment the bond obligation is triggered. Before your company is recognized as a signatory contractor and permitted to employ BAC Local No. 1 members on Pennsylvania jobsites, the union will require proof that this bond is in force. Some contractors also face a bonding demand when renewing their signatory status or after a delinquency has been flagged by a benefit fund audit.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Pennsylvania wherever Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 1 has jurisdiction and wherever its members are employed under a covered CBA. It is a labor-relationship requirement tied directly to BAC Local No. 1 — it is not a state-issued license bond administered by a Pennsylvania government agency.
