The state came close to living up to its motto when it passed, by large majorities, Right to Work legislation this Spring. But, Big Labor Gov. John Lynch vetoed the legislation and chose to continue to allow union bosses to forcibly take union dues from New Hampshire workers’ paychecks.

Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
