Note: Yes, this is the same Tim Shorrock who was fired in 1984 by Ralph Nader for trying to organize a union and running a labor-friendly magazine with an anti-imperialist viewpoint. That wasn’t very popular during the 1980s and scared the dickens out of Nader, who had very good friends at the highest levels of the Reagan administration. You can read about that episode here and here.
