MORE WISE WORDS FROM...Thomas Kochan
"We have to lift some of those constraints so people can balance work, family life, civic responsibility, and citizenship roles more fully. So when we talk about choice, I want to make sure that we're not just talking about individual choice, we're also talking about building institutions that free us from some of our chains from the past."

MIT's Thomas Kochan is a leading academic in the field of Industrial Relations. We talk to him about why he thinks we need a new social contract at work.

"Take a break, have a laugh,
