I have been without a contract since Jan 1 2013

[Omaha Steve]

We have reached an agreement with the City of Omaha. The local will present the offer on Sept 29th. We will vote on it two weeks later.

Sorry I have been so busy the last week. I haven't been on the DU much.

1. We went over a year

without one so that the effects of the ACA could be interpreted into the new agreement. Like every other one we have seen over these last few times, I found a very few good things and more negatives, but it passed by a large margin of those who came to vote.

I didn't like it, but voted for the contract.

2. Good luck, OS!

I hope the newest contract offer gives you something more than plain stability. Where new contracts used to routinely include a pay increase, improved benefits, etc., it now seems that 'not giving away the farm' is the best that can be hoped for.

3. Our bargaining lasted 22 months! Solidarity!!!

4. Hope the new offer is a good one...
