When Donald Trump announced his choice of Andy Puzder to serve as Secretary of Labor, the predictable response from the left and its media megaphones was that Puzder is “anti-worker” because he has never had much use for unions, and because he doesn’t believe the federal government should be setting the cost of labor artificially high.
That’s not just a philosophical or ideological position. Puzder serves as CEO of CKE Corporation, which is the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. His duty as CEO is to run the business profitably, much as it was my job as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza to do the same.
