Restaurant industry executives may not want to readily admit that they love Donald Trump’s choice of polarizing CKE Restaurants CEO Andrew Puzder as Secretary of Labor, but they definitely appreciate having one of their own in the key cabinet position during a time of rising worker outrage over sub-par hourly wages and after years of battling endless regulations from the Obama Administration. “My immediate thought is that it is very fortunate that for the first time, someone in our industry is in a position to represent us not only as Secretary of Labor, but even in a high level cabinet position,” says Don Fox , CEO of Firehouse Subs and current National Restaurant Association board member, on the nomination of the controversial Puzder.
