Pennsylvania Employing Bricklayers Association of Delaware Valley Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Contractors who employ union bricklayers in the Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania face a specific financial obligation to their workers' fringe benefit funds. This bond guarantees that those contributions — covering health, pension, and other negotiated benefits — will actually be paid. If a signatory contractor falls behind or defaults on contributions, the bond gives the Employing Bricklayers Association a direct recovery path. It is a labor compliance tool, not a general liability policy.
Who Needs This Bond?
Masonry contractors, general contractors, and construction firms that are signatory to a collective bargaining agreement with the Bricklayers union in the Delaware Valley area need this bond. Any employer who has agreed under a union contract to make fringe benefit contributions on behalf of covered bricklayers is a likely candidate. Small and mid-sized contractors who are new to union work or renewing their signatory status will typically be asked to provide this bond before work begins.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the fringe benefit funds established under the collective bargaining agreement between the employer and the Employing Bricklayers Association of Delaware Valley. It secures contributions that fund health coverage, pension benefits, and other negotiated employee benefits for union bricklayers. If an employer fails to remit those contributions as required, the bond provides a financial remedy to the affected fund. Workers' earned benefits are the direct beneficiaries of this protection.
When is it Required?
Signing or renewing a collective bargaining agreement with the Employing Bricklayers Association of Delaware Valley is the step at which this bond is typically requested. The association will require the bond before a contractor is permitted to employ covered bricklayers under the agreement. Contractors who have had contribution issues in the past may also be required to post this bond as a condition of remaining in good standing.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies throughout the Delaware Valley service area covered by the Employing Bricklayers Association, which falls within Pennsylvania's jurisdiction. It is a statewide bond tied specifically to this union's collective bargaining agreements, not a county or municipal permit. Contractors working on projects anywhere within that covered region must satisfy this bonding requirement.
