Donald Trump’s nominee for Labor Secretary—fast-food CEO Andrew Puzder—is anything but the ally working people need. The millionaire opposes meaningful increases to the minimum wage and overtime pay. He’s lined his own pockets while cheating his employees at Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr, violating the same laws he would oversee as Labor Secretary. Puzder demeans women with his sexist ads and comments, and 66 percent of women working at his restaurants report unwanted sexual harassment. Without a doubt, Puzder will make workplaces worse.

Here’s a sample script to use when making the call:
“Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and as a resident of {CITY, STATE}, I am calling to urge the Senator to vote against confirming Andrew Puzder as Secretary of Labor, as he will make workplaces worse.
He has a history of violating labor laws and cheating the people who work for his restaurants out of their pay. He opposes minimum wage and overtime pay increases and continually puts profits ahead of people. He has a history of running sexist ads and demeaning women. He’s not the advocate we need in the Department of Labor. Thanks for your hard work answering the phones!”
We expect phone lines may be busy at times. Don’t be discouraged – it’s a great sign that phones are ringing off the hook. Just please try calling back a little later to get through.
