Robert Reich Videos on the Economy

Making the Economy Work for the Many, Not the Few. Step #1: Raise the Minimum Wage
Picture

STEP #2: MAKE WORK FAMILY FRIENDLY
STEP #2: MAKE WORK FAMILY FRIENDLY
No one should have to choose between providing for your family and being a good parent. Yet “family-friendly” work is still a pipe dream.
<snip>
Specifically:
– Require that women receive equal pay for equal work.
– Require employers provide predictable hours so workers can plan to be home when their family needs them.
– Provide universal childcare – pre-school and after-school – financed by employers and taxpayers.
– Require that employers offer paid family and medical leave.   

The richest nation in the world should enable its workers to be good parents. Family-friendly work isn’t a luxury. People who work hard deserve to make more than a decent living. They and their families deserve a decent life.

Step #3: The Big Picture: Expand Social Security

Step #4: Bust up Wall Street

ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and Senior Fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the twentieth century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers “Aftershock" and “The Work of Nations." His latest, "Beyond Outrage," is now out in paperback. He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause. His new film, "Inequality for All," is now available on Netflix, iTunes, DVD, and On Demand.
