Civilian workers union rejects proposed labor deal with City of Omaha (including OS)
Since I'm retiring November 29th, this doesn't really do anything to me. I will be under the terms of the expired contract by state law.

A proposed labor deal between the City of Omaha and its civilian workers went to a vote of union members this week, but the proposal failed.
Mayor Jean Stothert said in a press release that talks between the city and the union have continued and that it’s possible to find “middle ground.” She also said she expects the union to make a counteroffer.
The labor contract for the Omaha City Employees Union Local 251 expired in 2012.
Still, Stothert called the union’s vote “disappointing.”
