OHA Board meets again to discuss controversial firing of 18 union workers

The firing of 18 unionized Omaha Housing Authority custodians and groundskeepers still stands after a special board meeting Tuesday that included an hourlong closed-door session and a second appeal from Ernie Chambers.
But OHA Board Chairman David Levy said the board had asked CEO Joanie Poore and her staff to help the 18 workers find jobs at the Housing Authority, or elsewhere in the community.
"She and her staff will do that, and we'll move forward," Levy said.
The board did not explicitly reject calls from Chambers and others, which the former dean of the Nebraska Legislature repeated Tuesday, to restart negotiations with the workers.
