2 | ULLICO BULLETIN | WINTER 2018

For over 90 years, Ullico has pursued the idea of protecting and growing the American labor movement, with products designed to provide innovative solutions for the union workplace. That’s no little plan. Every year our goal is to find the magic that fulfills our mission. In 2018, we continued to make real progress.

Our investment platforms had another outstanding year. The Ullico Infrastructure Fund (UIF), which not that long ago was only a big idea, really took off in 2018 with over $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), and almost $1.5 billion in commitments. UIF now has 11 investments in the U.S. and Canada. It recently joined a coalition to develop the newly announced JFK Airport Terminal One Infrastructure Project in New York that will put thousands of union members to work.

In the 1970s, Union Labor Life Insurance Company had an idea to use union pension funds to build projects that would create investment returns and jobs for union members. It led to the creation of Separate Account J, also known as “J for Jobs.” Forty-one years later, J for Jobs is still a big plan. This year, the Account closed $1.1 billion in new mortgage loans that were part of total financing on commercial properties that amounted to $2.9 billion. Those projects are designed to meet our goals of creating strong investment returns, and they created thousands of jobs and millions of work hours for union members and union contractors

Union Labor Life was founded on the big idea of providing life insurance for union members who either couldn’t

afford or couldn’t get it. Today, we still provide affordable life insurance, and our focus will remain on promoting the idea that workers and their families should always have access to the life insurance they require and deserve. The company achieved a record in new stop loss sales of $30.4 million in 2018. Furthermore, Union Labor Life issued over $4 million in policy dividends to health and welfare funds participating in one of the International Union Group Medical Stop Loss Programs.

While we are working to grow unions, we are also fighting to protect unions. We recently hosted a webinar to educate our insureds on the Janus decision by the Supreme Court, where union opponents argued against “fair share” agency fees. We are also protecting unions with our cyber liability policies,  which grew 60 percent this year by policy count, and with our professional liability coverage, which protects unions, labor leaders, joint apprenticeship training committees, and fund trustees. Our mission of protecting unions and their members is another reason why we are labor’s own insurance company.

At Ullico, our success this year and every year comes from the efforts of a great workforce, talented leadership by our board of directors, and investors, consultants and brokers who believe in our mission. I promise you that we will continue to make “Big Plans” for a bright future for our company, and the labor movement. Happy Holidays!

awareness and promotes the UAW Union-Built Vehicle Guide, is just one more

way we stay consistent with our mission.

more recent success of the Ullico

Infrastructure Fund. Ullico is

committed to building a

best-in-class fixed-income

company that provides

begin managing assets before year-

end. The firm plans to formalize the

UIA-IM affiliate structure in early

2019.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

4 | ULLICO BULLETIN | WINTER 2018

In October, New York Governor Anthony Cuomo announced a $13 billion investment to support the redevelopment of JFK Airport, including the expansion of newer terminals, the relocation of older terminals and transformation of the roadways leading to the airport. It’s one of the largest, private-public infrastructure projects in the world, and Ullico is a key financial partner. Ullico’s participation is funded through the Ullico Infrastructure Fund (UIF).

As part of The Terminal One Team, Ullico joins an innovative coalition of airlines, labor, minority and women-owned businesses and strong financial partners committed to refurbishing the nation’s aging infrastructure. UIF’s “Responsible Contractor Policy” promotes that the project creates good-paying construction jobs for union members.

“This project will put thousands of union members to work for a long period of time, but it is more than just a jobs program. With union-financing in this deal, this is a partnership model that works for workers, management and investors. The Terminal One team, in line with the objectives outlined by Governor Cuomo and the Port Authority, went the extra mile to make sure this project is a winner for all parties,” said Edward Smith, President and CEO for Ullico Inc.

Construction is expected to begin early 2020 and finish during the second half of 2025, with the new terminal opening in phases to ensure uninterrupted gate capacity and a seamless transition, all while creating an estimated 30,000 direct, construction and spin-off jobs for the region over time.

The $13 billion project is one step in a plan initiated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to increase infrastructure investment spending in New York: “It will provide thousands of good paying, middle class jobs, which is what this nation needs,” Cuomo said during his announcement. “It will provide a generation of union jobs that have an apprentice program, and have benefits, and have safety, and have training.”

ULLICO JOINS COALITION TO REDEVELOP JFK TERMINAL

VOL. 6, ISSUE 2 | WINTER 2018 | 5

Ullico, through Union Labor Life’s Separate Account J (known as ‘J for Jobs’) also committed to providing $35,000,000 to finance development of The TWA Flight Center Hotel and the rehabilitation of the Saarinen Terminal at JFK International Airport. The project includes the ground-up construction of two hotel towers, as well as the restoration and adaptive reuse of the iconic TWA Flight Center.

The hotel’s amenity space and common areas will be housed in the TWA terminal, and each hotel tower will connect to the TWA terminal via enclosed walkways. The 7-story towers will house a total of 512 guestrooms, with views of JFK’s runways and the TWA Flight Center.

“New York is a leading global city, with a powerful influence over worldwide commerce, finance, culture, fashion and entertainment. For these reasons, it remains an attractive destination for domestic and international travelers,” said Herb Kolben, senior vice president of Union Labor Life’s Real Estate Investment Group. “As an extension of JFK airport, the TWA Hotel will give travelers a place to rest after a hectic day of traveling or when they experience unanticipated flight cancellations.”

The TWA Flight Center, first opened in 1962, was designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen, who is also known for his work on the St. Louis Arch and Dulles International Airport. The TWA Flight Center at JFK was built under the management of Howard Hughes to physically represent the era’s ‘excitement of travel.’ The space will be restored with restaurants, bars and retail outlets, including a cocktail lounge featuring “Connie,” a 1958 Lockheed Constellation airplane.

Financed by The Union Labor Life Insurance Company through J for Jobs the loan was approved with the condition all construction will be built with union labor.

Since its inception, J for Jobs has funded over 80 projects in New York City, worth $5.2 billion. Over the last five years, these projects have created over 10,000 jobs, representing more than 20 million labor hours and $1.5 billion in personal income.

J FOR JOBS SUPPORTS TWA HOTEL

J FOR JOBS: Separate Account J (“the Fund”) is offered through a group annuity contract issued by The Union Labor Life Insurance Company (“Union Labor Life”) and is sold through Ullico Investment Company, LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC), both subsidiaries of Ullico Inc. The Fund will only be offered to qualified institutional and accredited investors. Investments in commercial mortgage loans secured by illiquid real estate are subject to additional risks including the potential inability of an investor to redeem units. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates and market volatility may limit available financing for real estate investments held by the Fund, thereby adversely affecting the value of the underlying investments, the investment return and the liquidity of the investments. ULLICO INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS: UIF is managed by Ullico Investment Advisors, Inc. (“UIA”) and is sold through Ullico Investment Company, LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC), both subsidiaries of Ullico Inc. UIA is a registered investment adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Act”). UIF will only be sold to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Investment in infrastructure is speculative, not suitable for all investors, and should be undertaken only by experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risks of such an investment, which include, but are not limited to, lack of liquidity, restrictions on transferring ownership to the Fund, absence of information regarding valuation and pricing, and high fees and expenses. Potential investors in the Fund should carefully read the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum for a description of the potential risks associated with investment in the Fund.

ECONOMIC IMPACT: Direct union impact figures provided by an economic impact study performed by Pinnacle Economics through input-output analysis utilizing IMPLAN modeling software. The study was performed using estimated project costs and union prevailing wage data from state departments of labor as provided by Ullico Investment Advisors, Inc. Jobs, Hours of Work and FTE figures reflect totals over the life of the project. All construction impacts are temporary in nature, and unfold as construction spending unfolds. This is an illustration of the projected economic impact of selected commercial real estate projects. All projections assume the completion of the relevant construction project which can depend on several factors including borrowers meeting all lending obligations. Projections are based on overall project costs which include the participation of Separate Account J.

A SUPREME COURT DECISION FUELS LAWSUITS AGAINST UNIONS

Since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1977, public-sector unions have been permitted to collect agency fees from nonmembers for the purpose of covering expenses associated with collective bargaining and representation. That decision was recently overturned by the Court in a ruling on the case Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31 (AFSCME), which held that ‘fair share’ agreements violate free association and freedom of speech protections.

“The meat of the decision is that it is unlawful for public sector unions to charge these fees unless the nonmember affirmatively consents to pay,” said Kerianne Steele, attorney at Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld. “Now opponents of organized labor are making a political argument… saying that existing membership cards that had been signed prior to the June 27 decision are somehow invalid because the alternative the individual had at the moment they signed prior to the decision was to pay a compulsory agency fee.”

During an educational webinar hosted by Ullico Casualty Group, Steele said that those arguments shouldn’t be entertained. She pointed out that Attorneys General in many states have already issued general advisories that affirm union rights and obligations in public workplaces, because the Janus decision does not affect arrangements between unions and union members. “The case is not about membership. It is not about membership cards,” said Steele. “That political argument by opponents of organized labor should have no success.”

THE PROSPECT OF BACK-FEE LITIGATION Justice Alito, writing for the conservative majority of the court, described the fees as a ‘windfall’ for unions, which Steele flatly rejected as an unfair characterization. “Those fees have been used by public sector unions to benefit both members and nonmembers, because they cover the costs associated with collective bargaining, grievance handling and other protections and advancements in the workplace that benefited everybody in the workplace, not just members,” she said.

However, Justice Alito’s remarks have inspired back-fee litigation. Through putative class-action lawsuits, opponents of labor claim an entitlement for nonmembers to reimbursement of all agency fees previously paid. While a union liability policy generally provides coverage for claims brought by members and nonmembers, whether and to what extent a particular loss is covered depends on the facts and circumstances of the loss and the terms and conditions of the policy or policies as issued.

Steele emphasized the importance of communication between unions as the lawsuits evolve. “This issue is calling for a high degree of coordination among unions,” she said. “They’re exchanging their best ideas, and that should apply to the back-fee litigation … The best approach is to be open about litigation, and share good defense strategies that could work for all of them.”
