Today Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will sign the Orwellian-named "Right-to-Work" legislation at a company whose CEO recently threatened to move the company's few remaining Wisconsin jobs to Mexico if the union-busting bill did not come to fruition. 

The clear point that Badger Meter's CEO Rich Meuusen is making is that the unions are hurting the company's earnings so much that they would have to send jobs to Mexico to keep the shareholders from going to bed hungry.  

This is really strange.  Because just last month, apparently a different Rich Meuusen bragged to the Milwaukee Business Journal  about an apparently different Badger Meter that had record earnings in 2014.   That Rich Meuusen at that Badger Meter said “2014 was a very good year for Badger Meter, we achieved record sales, earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations."
