What's Going On Here?

Here in our area, we now have electric meters that are read digitally from a distance and without the need for meter readers. My guess is that the new meters were made in China, thus we did not use U.S. workers to make the new and we laid off meter readers. Talk about being caught on the short end of the stick! A second issue is the possibility that software could be tinkered with internally so as to cost us more without our knowing about it.
Our electric service comes from Georgia Power, a huge influence here in Georgia and with many ties to to the ruling authorities. It is in cases like this that we need strong labor unions to act as a counter balance. Someone with the power to look over the shoulder of these large companies and when necessary; say hold on not so fast.
The other impending issue is that this will soon be going nation wide and I see no force to slow it up or to question the change.
