MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker will sign Wisconsin's right-to-work bill Monday morning in Brown Deer, at an industry where the CEO says the law will create more jobs instead of less.

 

The Republican Walker will hold a bill signing ceremony at Badger Meter. Thursday, the Journal Sentinel quoted the company's CEO, Rich Meeusen, as saying right-to-work would increase union positions at Badger Meter -- assuming the new hires want to join the labor group.

 

Meeusen said the right-to-work law would result in a dozen additional jobs at his Milwaukee area operation in the short run -- and up to 50 jobs later on. What's more, he said there would not be a cut in wages.

 

That was one of the main arguments Democrats cited in opposing the measure.

 

The Assembly gave final legislative approval to the right-to-work bill Friday on a 62-to-35 vote in which all Republicans voted yes and all Democrats no.

If the Unions could persuade the workers to join they might have better luck. The Unions only seem interested in cracking heads. They should ask themselves: Why are there Unions in the other 24 states? There are lots of them. How did that happen?
