BOSTON — Former Vice-President Joe Biden attended a rally of striking supermarket workers in New England on Thursday, arguing that workers aren’t being treated with enough respect. Biden spoke at the gathering of unionized Stop & Shop employees outside a store in Boston’s Dorchester neighbourhood. The 76-year-old Biden, mulling a run for the Democratic nomination for president, said workers at the supermarket chain are “not being treated across the board with dignity.”“We’ve got to start recognizing what people do, because it matters to everybody,” Biden said. Biden called President Donald Trump’s tax cut “a scam,” and said Wall Street, bankers and CEOs did not build America. “You built America!” Biden said to the union crowd.
