Right to Work Defeated in New Hampshire
When New Hampshire voters elected a Republican Governor, a Republican State House and a Republican State Senate, the ingredients for the recipe for a Right to Work state were all in place.
The Senate narrowly voted anti-union and in favor of Right to Work. Governor Sununu was poised to sign it, but today the house voted down the anti-union law, 200 to 177 and voted that it can't be reintroduced during the current term.
New England remains a six state block against anti-union laws.

New Hampshire AFL-CIO Reacts to House Vote on “Right to Work”
Concord – Following the House vote on so-called “Right to Work” today, Glenn Brackett, President of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO made the following statement:
“Today a bi-partisan majority confirmed that ‘Right to Work’ is still wrong for New Hampshire, and this vote should be the final nail in the coffin. Across the Granite State, working people stood together against this corporate-backed legislation that would cripple our ability to speak up on the job. We thank the legislators who let workers’ voices rise above special interests’.”
