Over the past two years, New Hampshire House Leaders have waged war on Granite State educators. From allowing parents to object to lesson plans and withdraw their students, to shifting funds from public education to private, religious and home schools; they pushed for new laws and constitutional amendments to dismantle public education, roll back educator’s rights and remove benefits and protections contained in our collective bargaining agreements.
Working together, we were able to defeat the worst of these bad-for-New Hampshire- bills, including so called “Right-to-Work”, related attacks on middle class jobs and workers, and bills aimed at breaking the promise of public education.
Legislators who brought you these bad bills have already announced their plans to run for office again and introduce similar legislation next year.

NH Supreme Court Rulings Clarifies Pension Vesting Timeframe
Last year, NEA-NH and the NH Retirement Security Pension Coalition filed suit against the state over changes made by the Legislature to members’ pension benefits. One change that affected all members, regardless of years of service, was a 2% increase in employee contributions. Other changes affected only members with less than ten years of service, such as what income was included in the pension calculation, and raising the number of years of service from the last three to the last five on which a pension would be calculated.
NEA-NH believed that these changes were unconstitutional and testified to that effect before the Legislature during public hearings.
As you might remember, earlier this year a Merrimack County Superior Court judge ruled that pension benefits vested after ten years of service and the 2% contribution increase was illegal. He also ruled that the changes affecting members with under ten years of service were allowable as he ruled that pension benefits did not vest until after ten years of service.
