SURPRISE! New Hampshire Passes “Companion” Bill Stripping Bargaining Rights a Day Early wepartypatriots.com/wp/2011/03/31/… #1u

"A protest expecting upwards of 5,000 demonstrators is scheduled for Noon at the New Hampshire Capitol in Concord today. Ironworkers and other members of the New Hampshire Building Trades have already begun to gather. The website NH Cares is a complete resource for rally questions.

WMUR in NH reports that the bill that could end collective bargaining for state employees came “a day earlier than expected”:

The amendment makes unionized government workers at-will employees if their contracts expire.

“You can’t go to arbitration, you can’t file grievances — our grievance procedures and all of the benefits spelled out are located in our collective bargaining agreements. Once they expire, once we become at-will employees, they’re gone,” said Stephen Arnold, of the New England Police Benevolent Association.

Arnold called the GOP effort an attack on public employees."
