Rapid Response Feedback Report: Worker Power Prevails! “Right-to-Work” Rejected in New Hampshire

Over the past month, Steelworkers across District 4 tweeted, rallied, testified, displayed bat light signals, and wrote their Representatives to oppose “Right-to- Work”. These actions showed unwavering solidarity and sent a clear message that workers’ rights will not be undermined.

On February 13, 2025, New Hampshire House of Representatives heard your voice and voted against the latest attempt to pass a “Right-to-Work” bill, HB 238- FN, by a vote of 200 to 180. The measure was indefinitely postponed, meaning it cannot be brought up again until 2027.

Out-of-state corporate interests may try again, but when they do, we’ll be ready to fight!

“Steelworkers from across District 4 stepped up in an incredible way, showing their commitment by using all modes of activism to make their voices heard at the New Hampshire Statehouse in opposition of so-called “Right-to-Work” legislation. Another year of defeating this harmful policy is a direct result of our hard work and solidarity to protect all workers.”
– USW District 4 Director, Dave Wasiura
