Andy Puzder, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Labor, has already proven himself to have a disastrous track record when it comes to paying workers the wages they are due, following the rules that keep workers safe, and respecting women. That’s why workers across the nation—including his former employees— have raised concerns that Puzder’s DOL won’t have their best interests at heart.
What would an anti-labor Department of Labor look like? Unfortunately, even though Andy Puzder still hasn’t made it through the Senate confirmation process, we are already getting a preview of what’s to come: President Trump’s inauguration had barely begun before pro-worker pages on the Department of Labor’s website began to show error messages.
Over the past few days, LGBT content from the Department of Labor’s website has been disappearing at a worrying rate. While a quick search on DOL’s blog on Thursday for “LGBT” would have shown more than two full pages of results, the same search today shows only one blog – the rest have been deleted.
Left: Some of the multiple pages of LGBT blogs on DOL’s website on Thursday. Right: The one remaining LGBT blog that survived the first five days of Trump’s DOL.
