Yet another lawsuit has been filed in Omaha's ongoing fight with its firefighters' union.
The fire union sued the city and Mayor Jim Suttle in Douglas County District Court this week, a move that seeks to force city payments of back wages.
The lawsuit asks a judge to compel the city to pay the union back wages and interest due for 2009. Payment for that year was already ordered in an earlier ruling from the state's Commission of Industrial Relations.
