Cover Story: The AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust:
Turning Pension Dollars into Union Jobs
The AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust is a $2.7 billion pooled real estate fund serving pension plans with union beneficiaries and has helped finance over $3.5 billion in commercial investment across the U.S. So what does this mega-fund have to do with the average worker?
For some members of Local 30, the answer is: it provides jobs. Because when the Trust finances a project, all on-site construction, operation, and maintenance are done solely by union workers. The Executive Building in downtown Washington, DC, is one of these projects.
Our National Roofing Industry Pension Plan is one of the Trust’s largest investors. Inside, read about how our pension dollars really do turn into union jobs.
