Live Free or Die: Right to Work in New Hampshire

June 3, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

A welcome sign at the New Hampshire state line that reads "Welcome - Bienvenue to New Hampshire. Live Free or Die"

You know I love the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire. That’s where the “Smith Family Robinson” spends its days getting away from it all. There are many reasons to move to New Hampshire, but there may soon be one more that businesses are especially interested in.

Life Comes at You Fast. Slow It Down with My Friday Email. It’s Free.

New Hampshire may soon become a Right to Work state. It would be the only Right to Work state in the deeply unionized Northeast. The Wall Street Journal reports:

New Hampshire’s motto is Live Free or Die, and the state has long been a beacon of individual liberty in the Northeast. Republicans who flipped control of the statehouse last November have a chance to make their state even more free this week by enacting right-to-work legislation.

Twenty-seven states boast right-to-work laws that give workers a choice of whether to belong to a union. Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and West Virginia have joined the club in the last decade. New Hampshire stands to become the first right-to-work state in New England, which would add to its competitive advantage of being the only state in the entire Northeast with no income tax.

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, private employment grew 27% in right-to-work states between 2001 and 2016, compared to 15% in non-right-to-work states. Economic output likewise increased by 38% in right-to-work states versus those that compel unionization and dues payments. Personal incomes in right-to-work states also grew 39% versus 26%.

Not all of these differences are due to right-to-work laws, but businesses say they consider right to work when deciding where to expand. Right to work can also liberate workers and businesses from union work rules and increase productivity. Workers may get larger wage increases since they can negotiate their pay directly with employers.

The bill has passed the state Senate, and GOP Gov. Chris Sununu has indicated he will sign it if it gets through the state House, where Republicans hold a 212-186 majority. Republicans picked up 47 seats in the chamber last November, but our sources say that some members want to duck controversy and may abstain from the vote.

This would be a mistake. Unions are unlikely to return the favor, and going right to work would help protect New Hampshire businesses and workers from the coming pro-Big Labor assault by the Biden Labor Department and National Labor Relations Board. This isn’t a time for timidity.

Right to work doesn’t ban unions, it protects free Americans from being forced to join them. That makes perfect sense in a state championing the right to “live free” on every license plate.

Action Line: If you own a small business, or are thinking of starting one, find a state where you and your employees are respected by legislators and protected from Big Labor bosses who want to bleed you and your employees of union dues for their own purposes.
