On Thursday, <a href="http://nrn.com/people/reports-andy-puzder-expected-be-labor-secretary?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nations-restaurant-news-andy-puzder-expected-to-be-labor-secretary-8376" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nation&rsquo;s Restaurant News reports</a> that CEO of CKE Restaurants Andy Puzder has been tapped by president-elect Donald Trump for Labor Secretary. According to the report, it&rsquo;s long been speculated that Puzder would be put up for the position if Trump won.

The International Franchise Association quickly praised the decision following the reports on Thursday. &ldquo;Andy would be an exceptional choice to lead the Labor Department and we applaud President-elect Trump for recognizing Andy&rsquo;s business experience and policy acumen on so many issues impacting employers and employees in today&rsquo;s economy,&rdquo; the association said in a statement.

Puzder, a long-time Trump supporter, has spoken publicly about his dissatisfaction with the Obama administration and his desire for different policies. For one, Puzder agrees with slight minimum wage increases ($8.75 to $9), but opposes $15. He also feels that the government should make it easier for businesses to create new jobs.

&ldquo;When businesses don&rsquo;t create jobs, employees end up competing for low-wage jobs rather than having employers compete for employees, so wages stagnate, paths to the middle class close and income inequality increases,&rdquo; Puzder has said. &nbsp;
