Andrew Puzder has agreed to divest an ownership stake worth as much as $50 million in the fast-food chain that includes Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. restaurants if he’s confirmed as the next U.S. labor secretary, according to his federal financial disclosure and ethics agreement.
That disclosure helps clear the way for Puzder, the chief executive officer of CKE Restaurants Inc., to finally get a Senate confirmation hearing Feb 16. Four previously scheduled hearings were postponed.
