The New Hampshire House of Representatives voted down right-to-work legislation this month. If it had passed, NH would have been the 28th right-to-work state in the nation and the first and only right-to-work state in the Northeast. The measure is barred from being proposed again until 2023.
In Illinois, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are attempting to cement the “fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively” into the state constitution, and to further prohibit any law that “interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively” (right-to-work). The state Senate has passed the resolution. Next up is for the House to vote on whether or not the measure will be on the ballot in 2022.
