We ought to pass right to work. Companies won't invest in states that lack a right to work law. New Hampshire needs more investment, creating factories, warehouses, distribution centers, call centers, just about everything, for the jobs they create. If we go right to work, we will be the ONLY right to work state for about 500 miles in every direction. That will attract some investment, there has gotta be a lot of companies needing new facilities in the northeast.
I know that right to work is hard on unions. But only 7% of the New Hampshire labor force is union, and half of that is public employee unions. The other 93% of the non union workers would benefit from more company investment. I think the greater good for the greater number ought to prevail.
Last time right to work came up, it passed both the house and the senate, but Governor Flynch vetoed it. We didn't quite have the two thirds majorities required to override the veto. Too bad. Lets hope it fairs better this time. I know Governor Sununu will sign it.
