Isn't there a chance that Reich's thinking has evolved since he was in the Clinton administration? I do see where he has espoused anti-labor opinions before, as pipoman rightly points out. However his current voice is more progressive, and I appreciate Reich speaking out on these issues with the authority of a former Secretary of Labor
