Support Worker Freedom
Ask Your Legislator to Support Worker Freedom By Passing Right to Work
Following the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on worker freedom, Janus v. AFSCME, New Hampshire now has the opportunity to become the first state in the northeast to pass right-to-work legislation and expand freedom for thousands of workers.
The court found that because collective bargaining with the government affects public policy issues like pension liabilities, taxes, spending and more, it equates to lobbying and thus political speech. Public employees are now protected from having their hard-earned money automatically deducted from their paycheck and directed toward political speech they may disagree with.
It is crucial that our legislators expand this First Amendment protection to private-sector workers in the Granite State, as well. In addition to expanding freedom for thousands of workers, right-to-work brings numerous economic benefits. There is no doubt that making New Hampshire a right-to-work state will invite more businesses and entrepreneurs to our state as well as protect the New Hampshire Advantage.
