CST #5 The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers

"The church proclaims in its teachings on social justice the need to repect employees and their rights to a just wage, decent work, safe working conditions, association, disability proctection, security in retirement, and economic initiatives"(McKenna 77). The church talks about how God gave the whole human race that earth to use, and not just certain individuals. One class of people cannot oppose another class od people. Workers are not to be treated as slaves. This CST also talks about how wrokers always should be treated with human dignity. Even though child labor is harsh labor for children, employers should not take away the rights and diginity of their young workers. These kids are put to work because the reason that the families are in poverty and need income. When taking away the rights and dignity of the child workers, it goes against the CST because "workers always be treated with human dignity".
