Sanders Statement on Puzder

Statement

Date: Feb. 15, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

"I am glad Mr. Puzder will withdraw his name from consideration to be the next labor secretary. The simple truth is that given his relationship to employees at the companies he runs, he was not fit to lead a department responsible for defending workers' rights. We need a secretary of labor who is going to fight to raise the minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour and pay equity for women. We don't need a labor secretary who makes millions while his workers are paid starvation wages."
