One of the bills under consideration this year is HB 1163, which seeks to prohibit employers from withholding union dues via voluntary payroll deduction (i.e. with written authorization from the employee).
How do they want to do that? Simply remove "union dues" from the list of deductions currently authorized under RSA 275:48.
Here's the list of the other deductions listed in RSA 275:48. They apparently have no problem with anything else on this list, just unions:
Payroll taxes
Pension
Charitable contributions
Housing and utilities
Savings funds
Voluntary rental fees for non-required clothing
Voluntary cleaning of uniforms and non-required clothing
Employee's use of a vehicle under RSA 261:111 (auto dealers)
Medical, surgical, hospital, and other group insurance benefits
Required clothing not covered by the definition of a uniform
Legal plans and identity theft plans
Any purpose on which the employer and employee agree that does not grant financial advantage to the employer
Voluntary contributions into cafeteria plans or flexible benefit plans
Child care fees
Parking fees
Pharmaceutical items, gift shop, and cafeteria items purchased on site of a hospital by hospital employees
Loans from the employer
Tuition
Voluntary payments for employee's use of a health or fitness facility
Political Action Committees
