Pennsylvania Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 Wage & Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Roofing contractors who employ union workers under the Pennsylvania Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4 collective bargaining agreement are required to carry this Wage & Fringe Benefits Bond. It guarantees that employees receive every dollar owed to them — wages, health benefits, pension contributions, and all other fringe benefit obligations — as required by the union agreement. If a contractor fails to pay, the bond stands behind those obligations. This is a labor compliance bond, not a general liability policy.
Who Needs This Bond?
You are a roofing or waterproofing contractor in Pennsylvania who has signed a collective bargaining agreement with Local No. 4 of the Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers. The union requires this bond as a condition of your signatory status — it is their financial guarantee that your workers get paid what the agreement says they are owed. General contractors, subcontractors, and specialty waterproofing firms who employ Local No. 4 members are the typical buyers. If the union has told you this bond is required, you are in the right place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Local No. 4 union members from wage theft and unpaid fringe benefits. When a contractor misses payroll, fails to remit health and welfare contributions, or skips pension payments, the bond can be called upon to make workers and the union trust funds whole. It is the contractor who is bonded, the union and its members who are protected, and the trigger is any failure to meet the monetary obligations set out in the collective bargaining agreement. No bond, no work under the Local No. 4 agreement.
When is it Required?
Before a single crew member covered under the Local No. 4 agreement sets foot on a job, this bond must already be in force. The union does not wait for you to secure it after work begins — signatory contractors are expected to maintain continuous coverage as a standing requirement of the collective bargaining agreement. If your bond expires or lapses, your ability to operate as a Local No. 4 signatory contractor is immediately at risk. Get this bond secured now, not after the first payroll cycle.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a Pennsylvania obligation tied specifically to the collective bargaining agreement with the Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 4. It applies to any job site in the union's jurisdiction where you employ Local No. 4 members. It is not a state license bond issued by a Pennsylvania government agency — it is a union-required labor compliance bond enforced by the local.
