Liberty Utilities joins carpenters union, contractors in opposing ‘right-to-work’ bill
Urge New Hampshire House to reject measure that passed Senate
March 17, 2021
The carpenters union, Liberty Utilities and a group of private contractors are calling on the New Hampshire House to reject “right-to-work” legislation that was recently passed in the state Senate.
The three have sent letters to state representatives calling Senate Bill 61 a “dangerous” bill that interferes with agreements already reached in collective bargaining.
The bill, which would make New Hampshire the first right-to-work state in the Northeast, would prohibit collective bargaining agreements between unions and employers that require employees to contribute union dues. Instead, unions could only collect contributions from those who volunteered to join them.
