IBEW 508 Bond – Wage and Welfare Funds

A wage and welfare bond (also referred as a Union Bond, Wage Fund Bond or Welfare Fund Bond) is required by unions when negotiating collective agreements with other companies. The bond guarantees an employer will honor the payments of union dues, contributions to funds and promised benefit packages to employees of the union. If a union member company fails to uphold its obligations under the bond?s terms, the bond amount is used to pay claims for salaries, wages, fringe benefits and/or compensation for services rendered by employees represented by the union. Each particular wage and welfare bond is unique to the union by whom it is required.
