Description
The "right of public employees to join or become members of labor unions is becoming increasingly recognized." American Federation of State &c. Employees v. Keene, 108 N.H. 68, 69. See Anderson, Legal Aspects of Collective Bargaining in Public Employment, in Developments in Public Employee Relations: Legislative, Judicial, Administrative, 128 (Warner ed. 1965). The corresponding right of a municipality to enter into a collective bargaining contract with a labor union has been recognized by statute since the enactment of Laws 1955, ch. 255. Manchester v. Guild, 100 N.H. 507, 511. That statute, which is a constitutional exercise of legislative power (N.H. Const., Pt. II, Art. 5th ; Opinion of the Justices, 101 N.H. 544; Exeter v. Kenick, 104 N.H. 168, 170) reads as follows: "Towns may... recognize unions of employees and make and enter into collective bargaining contracts with such unions." RSA 31:3 (supp). In 1962 the city of Berlin passed an ordinance which expressly empowered all present and future city boards and commissions to recognize unions of their employees and to enter into collective bargaining contracts with such unions.
