Labor Secretary Nominee’s Company Has Been a Discrimination Lawsuit Magnet
By Danny Feingold
“A Capital & Main analysis has found that since Andrew Puzder became CEO of CKE Restaurants Inc. in 2000, the company, and its Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s brands, have drawn the highest rate of federal employment discrimination and civil rights lawsuits among major U.S. burger chains.
There is little precedent for an American labor secretary to be associated with such an extensive record of alleged employment discrimination.”
