You Deserve to Be Paid More, with Dino Guastella

Politicians love to talk about lowering prices, but they really don’t like to talk about the other half of the equation: actually raising wages. That’s because the institutions of our government treat us as consumers first, and actual human beings with a role in society second. This week, Adam speaks with Dustin "Dino" Guastella, Director of Operations for Teamsters Local 623 and research associate with the Center for Working-Class Politics, about how the Democratic Party has lost track of what “affordability” actually means, and how a basic shift in perspective can actually begin to address the needs of working people.--SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
