In a win for Working People, the latest version of Right-To-Work (for less) Legislation that had been introduced in the New Hampshire Legislature has been indefinitely postponed. The New Hampshire Bulletin reports the State House of Representatives voted 200-to-180 to indefinitely postpone House Bill 238, which would have turned New Hampshire into a Right-To-Work State and prohibited Collective Bargaining Agreements from requiring Employees to join or contribute to a Union. By doing so, the House effectively killed it, prohibiting the chamber from taking up the issue again this Legislative Session. Different versions of the Bill have been introduced dozens of times since the 80s, all seeking to undermine Union negotiating power and make New Hampshire the region’s only Right-To-Work State. The New Hampshire AFL-CIO said: “For the fortieth consecutive time, so-called ‘Right-to-Work’ is dead. Once again, a bipartisan coalition of Legislators did their job and listened to their constituents.”
