| Yesterday afternoon, Secretary of Labor nominee Andrew Puzder withdrew his name for consideration for the post. This is a solid victory and a testament to the power of collective action. Our union spoke out along with allies both within and outside of labor to raise awareness of Puzder’s lack of fitness for the job. His track record as CEO of CKE Restaurants is alarming, if not the antithesis of ensuring the welfare of America’s workers. |
| Thank you! |
| We appreciate the efforts of every Steelworker who acted to prevent Puzder from becoming Secretary of Labor. Whether you made calls, talked to coworkers or tweeted as part of our new pilot program, you share a part of this win. |
| What’s Next? |
| The Department of Labor still needs a Secretary, so another nominee will be coming. We’ll be watching who is put forward for the position and evaluating as that develops. |
