Labor Pick Andy Puzder is Already in Jeopardy. Now He’s Being Sued for Wage-Fixing. (https://theintercept.com/2017/02/15/labor-pick-andy-puzder-is-already-in-jeopardy-now-hes-being-sued-for-wage-fixing/)

THE COMPANY RUN by Andy Puzder, who President Trump has nominated for secretary of labor, ran an illegal wage-fixing scheme for managers at his company’s restaurants, according to a class-action lawsuit (https://www.scribd.com/document/338799473/CKE-Complaint) filed in California superior court last week.

Puzder is the CEO of the vast Carl Karcher Enterprises (CKE) fast-food chain. One former and one current Carl’s Jr. shift leader allege that franchisees – which Puzder has repeatedly described as independent businesses — colluded with one another to prevent managers from moving between restaurants.

As alleged, the scheme also appears to violate federal law under the Sherman Antitrust Act, as an illegal restraint of trade. That would be a felony punishable by a $1 million fine and up to 10 years in prison (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1) for individuals charged.

Puz is exactly the kind of scorched-earth, Warrior on Employees executive that Repugs love, is exactly why they nominated him to fuck up D of Labor, to fuck over labor to the benefit of capital.
