CONCORD — The state House of Representatives defeated Senate-sponsored Right-to-Work legislation Thursday, 200-177, as 32 Republicans sided with a united Democratic caucus to vote against the measure.
In a subsequent procedural vote, representatives voted 193-184 to indefinitely postpone further action on the issue, precluding any vote on a House-sponsored Right-to-Work bill in the current session.
A motion to reconsider the postponement vote also failed, 194-183.
The loss came despite a full-court press by Republican Party leaders who enjoy a 50-vote majority in the 400-member chamber.
