Union Members Played Key Role in NH "Right to Work" Battle

Hundreds of Union members turned out to line the streets outside the NH Sportsplex in Bedford the morning of the final House vote.

June 4, 2021 - In a tremendous victory for working people and their unions in the Granite State, the New Hampshire House of Representatives soundly defeated “Right to Work” legislation on Thursday,  June 3, by a vote of 199-175. That was followed by a 197-178 vote to indefinitely postpone the bill, effectively killing it until at least 2023.
