OUR HISTORY

Nebraska Public Employees was chartered on May 26th 1942 as the City of Omaha Employee’s Union, Local 25, American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees; and on the same date the Union was also chartered as the Nebraska Public Employees, Union Local 251 to represent all other municipal employees not covered by a Union charter. Today we represent employees from Dakota County, Douglas County Youth Center, Fremont City, Grand Island, Harlan, Nemaha County, North Platte, Omaha Housing Authority, Otoe County, Pawnee County, Sarpy County, South Sioux City, and Civilian Employees for The City of Omaha.
