Puzder to the position of U.S. secretary of labor. “I am pleased to see that the president-elect is drawing from his own experience in business to nominate a qualified, successful businessman and job creator to become our next labor secretary,” said Isakson, who serves as chairman of the Senate subcommittee on labor. “I look forward to meeting with Mr. Puzder soon to discuss how we can work together to roll back many of the onerous regulations I have fought against that the Obama administration has placed on America’s businesses.” As chairman of the Senate subcommittee on labor, Isakson has led the fight against numerous Labor Department regulations including the so-called “fiduciary rule” that restricts workers’ access to retirement savings advice and the “overtime rule” that will force small businesses to cut jobs or reduce salaries and could deprive middle class workers of the chance to negotiate flexible work schedules. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
