N.H. closing in on a repeal of union dues rule:Veto override would make it a ‘right-to-work’ state

The Boston Globe reports:

New Hampshire’s Legislature could make the state the first in New England to outlaw compulsory union dues this week. While that outcome is far from certain, the state’s Republican Party has been pushing hard for a so-called “right-to-work’’ law as a way to improve the state’s business climate.

“If we become a right-to-work state, you would have a lot more business moving here,’’ said New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Jack Kimball, who has challenged GOP presidential candidates to take a stance on right-to-work. “If you’re about being probusiness, it is an issue you should be behind.’’

This could become a big issue for the entire Northeast.
