We are in a “government-mandated restaurant recession,” Andy Puzder
President-elect Donald Trump famously loves his fast food. Andrew Puzder is the chief executive of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. Puzder would be an alarming choice for Seattle’s advocates of paying a living wage to fast food workers,
Puzder has taken a harf line, saying“Overtime pay has to come from somewhere, most likely from reduced hours, reduced salaries or reduced bonuses,” minimum wage inreases “You’re going to see automation not just in airports and grocery stores, but in restaurants.”
Puzder recently co-authored a book called Job Creation: How It Really Works and Why Government Doesn’t Understand It.
