"Puzder has got to go!"
Fast food workers and their supporters will rally and protest in thirty U.S. cities Thursday protesting the nomination of Andy Puzder as Labor Secretary.
The Fight For $15 workers movement says "under Puzder’s tenure as CEO, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s have been hit with more federal employment discrimination lawsuits than any other major U.S. hamburger chain."
Fight for $15 says it's releasing a "major announcement" about Puzder's fast food company CKE as the protests unfold.
Keeping the minimum wage low is so important to Puzder he spent $10,000 of his own money to fight a ballot initiative in Nevada that would have raised the minimum wage at the time from $5.15 an hour to $6.15.
The Thursday protests accuse Puzder of stealing worker wages. Puzder makes more in a day than the average fast food worker makes all year.
