President-elect Donald Trump has picked Andrew Puzder, the head of the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's fast food restaurants, as his nominee for Labor secretary, a source familiar with the decision tells CNN.
Puzder, 66, is a vocal critic of government regulation and opposes a $15 minimum wage, broader overtime pay and the Affordable Care Act.
The Labor Department oversees America's job market, regulates the workplace, and produces statistics like the unemployment rate that underpin economic policy....

Well, there goes the $15 minimum wage for fast food workers...
The same Carl’s Jr. that was in the movie Idiocracy?
Another CEO!
Boom!
FYI: Posted this on another thread, but worth mentioning again. The media is poo-pooing this guy. But a look closer, he is a lawyer and:
“Andrew F. Puzder was named president and chief executive officer of CKE Restaurants, Inc. in September 2000.
Puzder joined the Company in 1997 as executive vice president, general counsel, overseeing franchising at Carl’s Jr. and in 1998, began overseeing franchising at Hardee’s as well. In June 2000, he was appointed president and chief executive officer of Hardee’s Food Systems, Inc. before moving on to his current position as president and CEO of the parent company.
Prior to joining CKE Restaurants, Inc., Puzder served as executive vice president, general counsel for Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and chief executive officer of Santa Barbara Restaurant Group, Inc. He was formerly a partner with the law firm Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth. Puzder received his juris doctorate in 1978 from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis and is a member of the California, Nevada and Missouri Bar Associations.
Most recently, PR News and CommCore Consulting named Puzder 2005 Spokesperson of the Year for his work in representing the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s brands in television and radio”.
All of the appointment to posts WHICH SHOULDN’T EVEN EXIST.
this pick shows that Trump is not a populist (people like Pat Buchanan and Ron Unz are for a high minimum wage) but a real conservative.
Someone on Twitter saying he is annesty guy?
Not necessarily. States can set minimum wages for themselves, if I'm not mistaken.

Certainly makes MY mouth water.
This man has my approval just for the Fried Pork Chop and gravy biscuit
at Hardee’s.
Time to automate the DOL.
Oh... there’s a burger. I was going to say...
“:^)
Trump picked a guy that is very qualified there.
Good for him.
The swamp is being drained, and the swampers are being replaced with doers
As a gesture of good will he will will move departing Obama appointee’s to the front of the line for jobs in the exciting world of fast food.
>> Well, there goes the $15 minimum wage for fast food workers.
Correctomundo. He’s on the Cheap Labor Express.
“Well, there goes the $15 minimum wage for fast food workers...
Not necessarily. States can set minimum wages for themselves, if I’m not mistaken. “
Many states do, but exceed the Federal minimum.
The issue with the $15 minimum requested by the fast food workers, it will eliminate many jobs completely because of automation such as the use of kiosks for ordering and payment.
But, Puzder is looking at employee free fast food restaurants.
