What this bond does

The required union instrument defines the employer labor payments secured. A contractor licensing document does not by itself define this Local 551 undertaking.

Who needs it
The employing electrical business responsible for the payments in the actual union demand.
Who it protects
Use the full required wage, fund or trustee beneficiaries. The security request does not provide an employee insurance policy.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Keep the union demand distinct from CSLB licensing security

CSLB describes contractor and LLC Employee/Worker bonds in its licensing guidance. Those licensing purposes do not establish the required Local 551 form or union beneficiaries.

Bring the employer agreement and fund demand with the application. This page does not decide which licensing bonds your business needs or establish that a licensing instrument satisfies the union request.

Questions about this bond

Does a CSLB bond automatically satisfy Local 551?

Compare the actual union instrument and payment undertaking. Licensing security alone does not establish the required union form or acceptance.

Does a customer's project payment bond cover this demand?

The particular employer labor payments and beneficiaries must match. A construction project bond is not an automatic substitute.

Does this provide plan-asset fidelity protection?

Fidelity addresses dishonest handling of plan assets, distinct from employer wage/fringe payments. The union request does not determine a plan's separate fidelity requirements.
