Puzder Denies He Will Withdraw Name from Consideration for DOL Secretary
Categories: Labor & Employment
Although Andrew Puzder, the fast food executive who has been named as the nominee for Secretary of Labor, has indicated that he is “looking forward” to his confirmation hearing, there are also indications that he may withdraw his name from consideration for this post. There are unnamed sources that assert that he was having second thoughts about the job and could be “bailing” due in part to the intense criticism that has come at him from many sides, e.g. labor unions.
