As promised, Gov. John Lynch has vetoed the right-to-work bill that Republicans in the Legislature have passed by overwhelming margins.

Lynch said the bill wrongly intrudes on the ability of labor and management to negotiate contracts.

“There is no evidence that this legislation will offer any benefits to New Hampshire’s economy or workers,” Lynch wrote in his veto message, saying out-of-state interests, not New Hampshire businesses, are driving the issue.
