New Hampshire House votes down Right-to-Work bill [View all]

CONCORD — The state House of Representatives defeated Senate-sponsored Right-to-Work legislation Thursday, 200-177, as 32 Republicans sided with a united Democratic caucus to vote against the measure.

In a subsequent procedural vote, representatives voted 193-184 to indefinitely postpone further action on the issue, precluding any vote on a House-sponsored Right-to-Work bill in the current session.
