Cornerstone Calls for NH to Adopt Right to Work Legislation
CONCORD— On Wednesday, January 30, HB 323 will come before the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services Committee for a hearing. This bill which was introduced by Rep. Bill O’Brien would prohibit collective bargaining agreements that require employees to join a labor union.
“Cornerstone supports this Right to Work legislation knowing that it would allow for choice and freedom for New Hampshire workers while also promoting economic prosperity for New Hampshire families,” said Pratte.
If Right to Work legislation were adopted in New Hampshire, the Granite State would become attractive to new employers and would bring jobs as a result. There is no doubt that HB 323 would help to boost our state’s economy through new employment opportunities for New Hampshire citizens.

Here's a news flash! No one is forced to join a collective bargaining unit in the state. O'Brien lies and is just trying to push this ALEC legislation through again. There have been many studies that show that RTW does not boost the economy and those up in Concord who support this know that. Remember Ovide said he would be a Governor like Scott Walker on steroids he didn't get far.

There's no hope convincing folks of this. They're *CERTAIN* that people are forced to join unions, probably at gun-point.
But this biennium, Right-to-Work-for-less (a.k.a. "Lose your rights at Work") is going nowhere and it doesn't matter how many Patchservatives support it.
Really??

News Flash proves the Democrats point. Your post influence or gives others the impression that Republicans are trying to bust up unions. So they can't donate money to campaigns or the Democratic party than what the right to work bill is actually about. We spend so much time on trying to stop or worring about people donating to the democrats, illeagal voting...when we should be spending most of our time fundraising and recruiting for ourselves.

@NF, i'm not a democrat and it sounds to me that you are jealous of the hard working Government employees who earn their pensions and also contribute to them. Maybe you should have stayed in school longer so you would qualify for such a position.

I went to school so I wouldn't have to have a low paying union job.

A123 Systems received a $241.1-million grant from the Obama administration three years ago and more than $125 million in State of Michigan tax credits in the hopes that the company would create jobs, while leading the country away from conventional gas-guzzling vehicles and toward clean energy.

Every take a look at who's written the articles that appear on Patch ? I just did some background on Ms Pratte who was appointed director of this organization Jan 3rd of this year. Prior to that she worked for Frank Guinta which came after she graduated from St A's in 2011. I don't think she has a lot of life experience in the job world so I can only suggest to others that she is just stating the views of her employers who hide in the background.
I'm done with this story, and sorry I wasted my time with it.

Note to Republicans: I if this right to work bill does not attract more business to New Hampshire. You might want to consider trying to get that slavery thing started again. Truth be known, it's really what you want anyway.

Note to Republicans: If you haven't figured out...we know what you are all about.
No Taxation
No Government
No Laws
No rights
Seeing that your motives are out in the open, and that the past two years of trying to push that mentality into State Government, hasn't helped the economy in NH, so why don't you just move to a country that doesn't have any things you don't want in this country...

No we want you to get educated and become an engineer, doctor, businessman, etc. We hate the fact that you blame us for your lack of marketable skills.

All these anti-labor laws are from ALEC, financed by the Koch Brothers. All of us, including "News Flash" will be working for the minimum wage once the Koch's take over the econmy.....

And the "minimum wage" may not survive -- please remember that Republicans routinely vote against increases in it and would probably vote it out of existence if they could.

Go back to school and get a better job.
I remember when I was young my parents warned me that if I didn't do well in school, I'd live the rest of my life as a laborer.
