Pennsylvania Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 9 Wage Welfare Bond
Overview
Pennsylvania contractors who work under the Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 9 collective bargaining agreement are required to back their wage and fringe benefit obligations with a surety bond. This bond guarantees that covered employees receive every dollar of wages and welfare contributions they are owed under the union contract. If you've been told you need this bond before you can work under the Local No. 9 agreement, you're in the right place.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your company has signed or is about to sign a collective bargaining agreement with Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 9 in Pennsylvania, and the union is requiring this bond before you put a crew on the job. Masonry contractors, tile setters, and allied trades employers who are signatory to the Local No. 9 agreement fall under this requirement. If you employ bricklayers or allied craftworkers covered by this local, the bond is not optional — it is a condition of your signatory status.
What is this Bond For?
Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 9 is the obligee — the party protected by this bond. The bond guarantees that you, as the contractor principal, will pay all wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, apprenticeship fund payments, and any other fringe benefits required by the collective bargaining agreement. If you fall short, the union or its benefit funds can make a claim against the bond to recover what your covered workers are owed.
When is it Required?
Before your first crew member covered by Local No. 9 begins work, the bond must already be in place. The union will not recognize your signatory status — and may not allow work to proceed — without a current, active bond on file. Do not wait until a project starts to secure this bond; the requirement is triggered the moment you become a signatory contractor.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies to work performed under the Bricklayers Allied Craftworkers Local No. 9 collective bargaining agreement in Pennsylvania. It is not a statewide contractor license bond — it is specific to your obligations as a signatory employer to this local union. Any job site where you use Local No. 9 craft workers falls within its scope.
