In Las Vegas speech, Biden warns of GOP’s threat to unions
A Donald Trump presidency and continued Republican majority in Congress would make labor unions extinct over the next eight years, Vice President Joe Biden warned a crowd of nearly 800 union workers in Las Vegas today.
"If (Democrats) don't win the Senate and Hillary doesn't win the presidency, you'll be out of business," he said during a 30-minute speech at the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters office, at 4245 W. Sunset Road.
