Andrew Puzder is currently being
considered for US Labor Secretary. As labor secretary, Mr. Puzder would oversee
the federal apparatus that investigates violations of minimum wage, overtime
and worker safety laws and regulations.
He is, “a man whose business record
is defined by fighting against working people.” -Richard L. Trumka, president
of the A.F.L.-C.I.O.
- Opposed efforts to increase minimum wage nationally
- Staunch opponent of overtime pay and rules
- Criticizes paid sick leave policies
- Supports a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act
- Active opponent of employment laws
- Outsourced the technology department of his fast food empire to the Philippines
- His nationwide fast food chain conglomerate, CKE, was found guilty of wage-theft violations in dozens of cases
In an interview with Business
Insider, Mr. Puzder was supportive of increased automation because machines, “never
take a vacation…there’s never a slip-and-fall or an age, sex, or race
discrimination case.” The man clearly supports employing robots instead of
people.
