The U.S. Department of Labor has announced an exemption allowing the United Brotherhood of Carpenters Pension Fund to sell a 19.25-acre property in Las Vegas to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters for cash. This decision was based on the finding that the sale to UBC would result in significantly higher net proceeds for the Pension Fund compared to selling the property to a third party. Following public input, the Department removed a proposed revenue-sharing condition but kept a "Clawback Condition" ensuring that if UBC resells the property within ten years for a profit, any excess proceeds must be given to the Pension Fund. The exemption ensures that the sale benefits the Pension Fund and its participants.
