Teamsters Local 633 Defeats Right to Work in New Hampshire

TL/DR -

Teamsters Local 633 representatives, including Business Agent Keith Judge, Organizer Alyssa Croteau, and Recording Secretary Scott Gove, expressed opposition to a "right to work" legislation at a New Hampshire Senate hearing. They argue that such legislation weakens workers' rights and diminishes wages by undermining labor unions' financial strength. For the Senate bill to be reconsidered, a two-thirds vote from the lower chamber is needed just to schedule a hearing, which is unlikely given the bill's previous failure in the current session.

Teamsters Local 633 representatives voiced opposition against "right to work" legislation at a New Hampshire Senate hearing. Business Agent Keith Judge, Organizer Alyssa Croteau, and Recording Secretary Scott Gove were on hand to articulate their stance.

Local 633 Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Padellaro criticized anti-union politicians for grandstanding at the hearing, stating the State House of Representatives had already rejected the legislation, reflecting the lack of support among New Hampshire voters.

According to Gove, "right to work" laws are a deceit aimed at weakening workers' rights and diminishing wages by undermining labor union's financial strength.

Considering it already failed once this session, the Senate bill would need two-thirds vote from the lower chamber just to schedule another hearing – an unlikely outcome. Despite this, New Hampshire Teamsters remain committed to thwarting "right to work" legislation as they have for over three decades.
