| Nat Guard Protection Return to index of stories... |
National guard members activated for state duty will be guaranteed their jobs when their service is over. That would become law - if Governor Jeanne Shaheen's proposed legislation passes. Under federal law, guard members called for federal duty are guaranteed job security after completing their service. However, members called to state duty currently don't receive the same protections. The governor says she feels offering this type of guarantee is the right thing to do - and the least we can do. |
