Fraser Stryker is proud to assist the Omaha City Council in negotiating the Omaha Police Officers Association contract. In 2009, Fraser Stryker provided pro bono services to the City of Omaha Police and Fire Retirement System Pension Taskforce to assist police, fire, and city officials in finding equitable solutions to restore the pension system to actuarial balance. The Taskforce issued a report in May 2009 outlining the extent of the pension problems and making recommendations on how all stakeholders could address these issues. Because of Fraser Stryker's extensive pro bono work on the pension system, it is well-positioned to efficiently address the numerous issues related to the Omaha Police Officers Association contract.

Our Firm has developed a close, working relationship with the staff of many state and local governmental agencies. We participate in drafting regulations for these agencies regarding matters of special interest to our clients. We represent clients before local governing bodies such as city councils, county boards, zoning and planning boards, and county officials. Fraser Stryker brings together attorneys from its Employee Benefits, Tax, and Labor and Employment Practice groups to assist governmental clients in union contracts and public pension issues.
