Why does SNHU only hire in certain states?

These states are also non union states. I saw this trend quite a bit when I worked at Kaplan, they would only hire full time remote employees in non union states.

There are several New England states listed and they are union states so I'm not sure about the list being non union. There are over 1200 labor unions in Massachusetts.

I should further clarify. Anyone can join a union, even in a non union state. For example, I was a member of NEA when I was a K to 12 public school teacher, here in North Carolina. The non union part means that you do not have to join a union in order to accept the position and there is no union collective bargaining agreement. The other reason why some of these colleges and universities are only hiring in some states, is due to "right to work" laws. Which I think the majority of these states have on the books. Right to work means the employer can terminate at will. So its probably a combination of non union collective bargaining agreement, right to work laws, and the fact that these states do not have the equal pay laws that some states have, where if you are a remote employee in another state, your company still has to pay you the same as if you were working in the office or in that particular state for the same position.
