Workers Unite As NH House Kills Two Anti-Worker Bills
http://nhlabornews.com/2013/05/workers-unite-as-nh-house-kills-two-anti-worker-bills/
By Matt Murray
Yesterday was a big day in the NH House for NH workers. Since the session began I have been watching a number of bills and their progress through the Legislature.
The first bill is SB 100 (NHLN post). This bill would remove the option to have a paper check printed and in turn give you a debit card that would automatically refill with your paycheck every two weeks.
Kevin Langridgan reported from the State House yesterday:
“Rep. Timothy Smith, D-Manchester, said these payroll cards are a hidden scam for low-wage workers, who can face hidden fees of up to $40 per transaction.
“This bill is pretty offensive,” Smith said. “This is one of the newer scams that have been pushed on our hard-working citizens, and it has taken the form of a payroll card.”
