• Omaha Unilaterally Changes Retiree's Benefits - Contract Clause Implications

Many American cities are facing budget shortfalls in 2010. The mayor and city council in Omaha, Nebraska addressed the shortfall by unilaterally requiring retirees to pay a portion of their health insurance premiums, despite labor contracts requiring the city to pay the entire premium.

This paper examines whether or not Omaha can legally require retirees to pay a portion of the premium.
