Hearing Date Set for Anti-Worker Secretary of Labor Nominee Andrew Puzder

The confirmation hearing for anti-worker Secretary of Labor nominee Andrew Puzder has finally been set for February 16th, after being pushed back four times.

The hits keep coming against Puzder, the CEO of fast-food conglomerate CKE Restaurants, which owns Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Puzder is a staunch opponent of raising the minimum wage, and has said he prefers robots to human workers.

The Washington Post published a piece by JoAnn Wise, who worked for Hardee’s for 21 years:

"I already know what Trump/Puzder economics look like because I'm living it every day. Despite giving everything I had to Puzder's company for 21 years, I left without a penny of savings, with no health care and no pension. Now, while I live in poverty, Trump, who promised to fix the rigged economy, has chosen for labor secretary someone who wants to rig it up even more."
