Trump to tap restaurant chain executive Andy Puzder for Labor secretary
President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate restaurant chain executive Andy Puzder to be Labor secretary. Puzder - the CEO of CKE Restaurants, which owns the fast food restaurants Carl's Jr. And Hardee's - also worked as a Trump campaign adviser and is a major critic of what he calls unnecessary federal regulations, including a proposed hike in the federal minimum wage.

Yet another businessman making lots of money to run the country. While I cannot expect less from a man who is already a billionaire choosing them I still have to wonder about the disconnect.

Andy Puzder History & Civil Business Politics
Top Senate Republicans have urged the White House to withdraw the Andrew Puzder nomination for labor secretary, a senior GOP source said, adding there are four firm Republican no votes and possibly up to 12.
Puzder needs at least 50 votes to pass with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Mike Pence, and Republicans only hold control of 52 seats.
Puzder, the CEO of the company that owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Fast food chains, has faced fierce opposition mostly from Democrats in part related to his position on labor issues as well as the fact that he employed an undocumented housekeeper. A Puzder spokesman could not be reached for comment. Ref. CNN.
