Right-to-work bill killed by Republican-controlled New Hampshire House
New Hampshire’s Republican-controlled House voted 200-180 to indefinitely postpone a right-to-work bill, preventing it from being reconsidered this year or next. The legislation, backed by conservative group Americans for Prosperity, aimed to ban union membership requirements in workplaces but faced strong opposition from labor unions. Despite Republican gains in the legislature, 25 GOP lawmakers sided with Democrats to reject the bill, with some citing support for Trump’s pro-labor shift. Governor Kelly Ayotte, who favors right-to-work laws, expressed confidence in the state’s business climate despite the bill’s failure.
