Pennsylvania International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen Wage Welfare Bond
Overview
Get bonded and demonstrate your financial commitment to Pennsylvania's union bricklayers and allied craftsmen before work begins. This bond guarantees that wages, welfare contributions, and fringe benefits owed under collective bargaining agreements with the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen will be paid. Contractors who sign on to union work in Pennsylvania are held to strict payment obligations — this bond backs those obligations with a financial guarantee. Missing it means you cannot operate under the union agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
Masonry contractors and employers in Pennsylvania are the primary applicants for this bond. If you have signed or are signing a collective bargaining agreement with the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen, the union will require this bond before you put union workers on a job. It applies statewide — whether your projects are in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or anywhere across Pennsylvania. Any contractor covered under the union agreement who owes wage and fringe benefit contributions is a potential principal on this bond.
What is this Bond For?
Signed union agreements create binding wage and fringe benefit payment obligations for every hour worked. This bond protects union members and the trust funds that administer their benefits by guaranteeing those payments will be made. If a covered employer fails to submit required wages, health and welfare contributions, pension payments, or other fringe benefits, the bond provides a financial remedy. It is not optional protection — it is a condition of doing business under the Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen collective bargaining agreement in Pennsylvania.
When is it Required?
Execution of a collective bargaining agreement with the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The union will not allow a contractor to dispatch covered workers or begin a covered project without the bond already in place. Renewal or renegotiation of your labor agreement may also trigger a new bond requirement. Do not wait until your first job is scheduled — secure the bond when you sign the agreement.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Pennsylvania requirement tied to the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen's collective bargaining framework. It is not issued by a state agency — it is held by or filed with the union or its affiliated benefit funds as a condition of the labor agreement. All covered masonry and allied crafts work performed anywhere in Pennsylvania under the union agreement falls within its scope.
