“What’s happening, for the first time, is that a lot of companies are being pushed to [resist], and it hasn’t been driven entirely by the bottom line,” said UC Berkeley professor and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich in a San Francisco Chronicle article on tech firms’ opposition to President Trump’s controversial travel and immigration ban. Instead, as Reich said in San Francisco at the NewCo Shift Forum conference of technologists and politicians, the industry’s resistance is “being pushed by their employees and customers,” not “the Washington lobbyists who are saying, ‘You know you ought to do this.’”
