Little new emerges in New Hampshire’s right-to-work debate
Opponents of bill greatly outnumber proponents at Senate hearing

Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess testified against right-to-work legislation.
For four decades, proposed right-to-work legislation has come before the New Hampshire Legislature without success, in most years voted down by either the House or the Senate.
Proponents of prohibiting unions and employers from requiring non-union members to pay dues or fees for administrative and bargaining costs as part of a collective bargaining contract, say it promotes worker choice and forces unions to provide better services.
But opponents say it is right-to-work-for-less, union busting in favor of executives and investors, and un-American because it forces unions to provide their services for free to non-members.
