House Labor Committee votes along party lines to recommend full House pass right-to-work bill [View all]

CONCORD, N.H. — Along party lines, the New Hampshire House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services Committee voted 11-9 Tuesday to support the latest version of right-to-work legislation to prohibit any requirement that employees of a private sector business join a labor union.

All committee Republicans voted in favor of a motion that Senate Bill 61 ought to pass, while all Democrats voted against it. The bill passed the state Senate, 13-11, on Feb. 11, and Gov. Chris Sununu has expressed support for right-to-work.

An effort early in his first term to pass right-to-work was defeated by the House.

Right-to-work has come before the Legislature numerous times over the past 25 years and has been defeated each time. Proponents are optimistic it will pass this year and be signed into law by Sununu.
