Tomorrow, January 12th 2017, from 2-5pm, at the Myers Street Hardee's (921 Myers Street, Richmond VA), there will be a local protest as part of the Keep Andrew Puzder Out National Day of Action. From the event description:
"The Senate is about to hold hearings on Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Labor – one of the WORST fast-food CEOs, Andy Puzder, of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Puzder has made it perfectly clear he doesn't support raising the minimum wage and his restaurants are infamous for low wages, withholding overtime pay, and mistreating workers.
On Thursday 1/12, we're taking this fight straight to Puzder's door – with protests at Carl's Jr, Hardee's and other restaurants he runs from coast-to-coast. We will hear from current and former Hardee's workers who know from their experiences that Puzder is the wrong choice.
By picking Puzder, Donald Trump made it pretty clear – he's not taking on the rigged economy. Instead, he wants to rig it up even more. We're going to make sure he knows that if he wants to put a guy who makes more in a day than many of his employees make in a YEAR in charge of protecting workers, he's on the wrong side of history. We need $15 an hour and union rights – not a fast-food CEO who doesn't believe in the minimum wage. And we won't back down."
