Trump's nominee for Secretary of Labor, Andrew Puzder, has had most of the critical focus on him as an opponent of increasing the minimum wage (though his opinions on it are a scosh more nuanced than that), but the Department of Labor does more than just make sure people get paid. It oversees workplace safety laws, and it enforces workplace discrimination laws.
I like Carl's, Jr. food, but it's never had a significant presence in Colorado, so we've missed out on the "bikinis and dribbling sauces" string of commercials for a brand that Puzder — as CEO of the parent company CKE — says took on his "personality."
Question: if you were a woman needing to issue a complaint about sex discrimination — harassment, wage disparity, whatever — on the job, would you feel like the new Labor pick's "personality" would be supportive of you, or more interested in supporting the "hungry guys" at the factory?
Trump’s Labor Secretary Pick Is a Gross Misogynist, Really Into Hot Women in Bikinis
Carl’s Jr. commercials are the worst. Andrew Puzder say they’re a reflection of his “personality.”
