Sturm Ruger, a noted old line American firearms maker, announced that they will open a new factory in North Carolina, rather than expand their existing plant in New Hampshire. The company cited the lack of a right to work law in NH as one strong reason for building else where.
Damn. We nearly had right to work up here. It passed the house and senate only to be vetoed by former governor Lynch. We had enough votes to override Lynch's veto in the senate, and were only a dozen votes short in the house. Every union in New Hampshire, and a whole bunch for out of state, opposed right to work with every breath in their bodies. It would have passed without that die hard opposition.
Thanks, unions, for sending all those good manufacturing jobs off to North Carolina.
