Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Federal law generally does not regulate employment contracts between employers and employees with one exception: contracts that require the joining or refraining from joining of a labor union as a condition of employment. On the federal level, these contracts are governed by the National Labor Relations Act. States may have a corresponding provision and may also have additional provisions regarding employment contracts.
New Hampshire law has a similar provision to federal law regarding union membership. It also has additional provisions concerning employment contracts.
