Republicans in South Carolina, New Hampshire and Missouri line up to attack unions
Source: Raw Story
By David Edwards

With the success of union-busting bills in Wisconsin and Ohio, Republicans in other states are taking the opportunity to attack unions.

New Hampshire is set to become the first right-to-work state in the Northeast if Republicans there can override a promised veto of Democratic Gov. John Lynch. In 2010, Republicans took control of the legislature by a wide margin.

Republican state senators in Missouri are trying to find a compromise that would allow their right-to-work bill to pass this this legislative session. Democrats have vowed to block the legislation but Republicans are hoping to cut off a filibuster.

After big Republican wins last fall, 18 states have proposed right-to-work measures this year.
