Donald Trump’s selection of CKE CEO Andy Puzder to lead his Labor Department has incited a tantrum on the left, which is a good sign. The burger maven once told us that he often picked up litter around his restaurants, and departing chief Tom Perez is leaving plenty to clean up.
Mr. Puzder, who often writes for these pages, has expertise in labor law and business. Prior to becoming CEO at CKE, he was the company’s general counsel and helped save the business from bankruptcy. CKE restaurants (Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.) employ 75,000 workers in the U.S., and it’s not an exaggeration to say that thousands owe their jobs to Mr. Puzder.
He is also the rare executive who promotes free markets rather than merely his narrow business interests. Mr. Puzder has expounded in these pages on the unintended consequences of ObamaCare’s mandates and a $15 minimum wage.

Trump is hitting the ball outta the park with his cabinet nominees.
Another good pick. The confirmation hearings are going to be a riot.
HOORAY Andy Puzder
if you are a small business guy...oh man, this pick is a dream come true
If able to express the unforeseen faults in Obama’s policies, then Mr. Puzder is up to the job in rectifying those faults. Mr. Trump, another good choice, sir. Your team players must make the best of jalapeno jelly. They’ve enough spice to make grown men quiver and shed tears. Must say, do enjoy seeing BO’Bs team getting their panties in such a twist.
