as Bargaining Agent
More than 3,000 teachers in the Omaha Public School District have signed authorization cards saying they want the Omaha Education Association (OEA) to continue to represent them as their exclusive bargaining agent.
In just three weeks, OEA members collected signature cards from an estimated 83 percent of eligible bargaining unit members.

March 8, 2012, Omaha – Beginning next week, many Omaha Public School (OPS) employees will be asked to sign cards authorizing the Omaha Education Association (OEA) to serve as their bargaining agent for the 2013-14 school year. The OEA has represented OPS teachers and other non-administrative certificated staff for more than 40 years.
The action follows the OPS Board of Education approval of OEA as the bargaining agent for bargaining unit employees for the 2012-13 school year, while taking no action on the Association’s request to recognize OEA as the bargaining agent for 2013-14, as well.
