Biden defends unions against conservative ‘social agenda’

The Hill reports:

Unions are not the cause of the country's economic woes, Vice President Biden said Wednesday.

“Public employees are not the problem. The problem is much deeper,” Biden said during a fundraiser in New York for Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.).

Rather, Biden said, unions are part of the reason the country has a middle class.

Only gains in marginal productivity create wealth.
