Trump taps fast food exec Andy Puzder for Labor secretary

Preparing to make public appearances Thursday in Ohio and Iowa, President-elect Donald Trump nominated restaurant chain executive Andy Puzder to be Labor secretary.

"Andy will fight to make American workers safer and more prosperous by enforcing fair occupational safety standards and ensuring workers receive the benefits they deserve, and he will save small businesses from the crushing burdens of unnecessary regulations that are stunting job growth and suppressing wages," Trump said.

Pudzer said he and Trump believe "that the right government policies can result in more jobs and better wages for the American worker."
