Earlier this month, the New Hampshire Senate voted to pass SB 61, a bill that would make the Granite State the only “right to work” state in the Northeast.
Like so many bad bills before it with positive-sounding names to make them more palatable to the people they’re going to hurt, the devil is in the details. “Right to work” is a policy that says people cannot be required to join a workers’ union. The bill is a solution to a problem that does not exist because no one can be forced to join a union. Federal law already prohibits it.
