Hey JeffK,,,the NH Labor Relations Board in Concord heard, about one week ago, the presentations from the two groups; the 30 employees of the Meredith Dept Public Works and their S.W.I.U. representative and the town management and their attorneys. The state board has up to 90 days to think it over before issuing its' decision with regard to the possible start-up of a new labor union representation.
About 15000 State of NH employees belong to a union while about 5000 do not. I do not know if the state's most visible employees, the NH State Police belong to a union? Next time I get stopped for a driving violation, I'll ask the trooper if they have a union and if it's a good thing or not.
