Incoming Labor Secretary Criticized as ‘Cruel and Baffling’ Choice for Post
Posted On: Dec 09, 2016
Dec. 9, 2016  | LABOR |  Labor unions and law enforcement officials have condemned President-elect Donald Trump’s “cruel and baffling” nomination of fast-food executive Andrew Puzder for labor secretary on Thursday. “Trump has once again shown how out-of-touch he is with what working Americans need,” said Service Employees International Union (SEIU) head Mary Kay Henry, calling the appointment “anti-worker extremism”. Trump hurts “working families, including those who elected him” with the nomination, she wrote on behalf of the union… Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison said Puzder was not to be trusted. “How can we expect Puzder to do his job and protect workers when his own employees are having their wages stolen?” said Ellison. “Good jobs and fair wages aren’t in Puzder’s vocabulary.” the guardian.com
