U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan says Andy Puzder should be rejected as U.S. Labor Secretary.

 "President Trump likes to tweet and talk about putting hard-working Americans first but at the end of the day he wants to make sure that only big business and special interests have a seat at the table and that's why he nominated Andy Puzder."

Puzder ran fast food company CKE operating the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. franchises. Puzder opposes increasing the minimum wage and overtime protections. His company has been repeatedly cited for labor law violations.

AFL-CIO Vice-President Tefere Gebre.

 "The AFL-CIO strongly urges the Senate to defeat this reckless nominee.

Seems like if you don't believe in public education President Trump believes you should be running the Department of Education. If you don't believe in workers' rights you should be running the department that's created to protect workers. If you don't believe in protecting the environment you should be in charge of the EPA.

We are willing to fight. We're willing to take it on the street. We are willing to do anything to provide the backbone to the Senate to do the right thing and reject this nomination."
