Donald Trump has chosen an anti-regulation fast-food executive,
opposed to a higher minimum wage, to lead the US Department of Labor.
The president-elect said Andrew Puzder, the latest tycoon added to his cabinet,
had a "record fighting for workers".
Mr Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants, which operates the Carl's Jr
and Hardee's, has often argued a higher minimum wage would kill jobs.
The Labor Department regulates wages along with workplace safety.
Mr Puzder has criticised a new Labor Department rule aimed at extending
overtime pay to more than four million US workers.

Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO union, said Mr Puzder's "business record
is defined by fighting against working people". Mr Puzder was one of Mr Trump's earliest campaign financiers, contributing more than $330,000 to his White House bid, reports the Washington Post. He opposes the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, claiming it has left working families with less money to spend dining out, spawning a "restaurant recession". Mr Puzder has brushed off allegations that his fast-food restaurants' racy commercials - featuring scantily clad models gorging on burgers - are sexist. "I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis," he once said. "I think it's very American." |

doesn't sound like a friend of ordinary working Americans - but then Trump's championing of these people was always a charade
