Work and Workers rights

The economy must serve people. It is not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a good living. It is a form of participating in God's creation. Employers contribute to the common good through the services they provide. They create jobs that uphold the dignity and rights of workers. To productive work. To decent and just wages. To adequate benifits and security in their old age. Workers also have responsibilities to provide a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. The biggest one is that you have to work together." All work has a threefold moral significance. First, it is a principle way that people exercise the distinctive human capacity for self-expression and self-realization. Second, it is the ordinary way for human beings to fulfill their material needs. Finally, work enables people to contribute to the well-being of the larger community. Work is not only for one's self. It is for one's family, for the nation, and indeed for the benefit of the entire human family." This means that you need to practice your self-expression. The second one means that if you have something to do well than just do it. The third one means that if you do good work than it is gona be spread to your whole community.
