9 Days

Right To Work
From Granite State Progress:
The New Hampshire General Court voted on whether to pass HB 474, the so-called "Right to Work" bill that would have jeopardized job-based health insurance, pensions and worker safety programs - important foundations for a healthy and productive work place that have largely been secured by organized work forces. The bill sought to interfere in private work place matters and bar employers and workers from arranging a fair share clause in contracts to help cover the collective bargaining costs of negotiating good jobs with good wages and benefits.(HB474, Roll Call #182, 5/4/2011)
This legislation has been criticized by opponents as anti-union and supporters have called it "worker freedom." You can read more about Right To Work here, here and here.

Adam Schroadter and Josh Davenport both voted in favor of this bill. 
Marcia Moody and Patty Lovejoy voted against it.
