Joe Biden

I wish, unions are a cancer.

WASHINGTON — Speaking to a crowd of United Auto Workers union members on Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden said business interests and the right wing are carrying out a “concerted” and “well financed” plan to dismantle labor unions, a strategy he linked directly to growing income inequality in the U.S.

“This is a concerted, full-throated, well organized, well financed, well thought out, long-term effort waging a war on labor’s house,” Biden said. “Because they know, they know — not all business, but these guys on the right — they know without you there they’ll call every shot. I mean this sincerely. I think sometimes you guys underestimate it.

“And guess what?” he added. “They’ve been very successful. Look what’s happened in Michigan and Indiana.”
