Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, in his Labor Day message said that \u201cunemployment, underemployment, instability in work and exploitation\u201d in the country aggravates “poverty, social exclusion and inequalities\u201d among Filipino workers and their families.<\/p>\n
“Work is a fundamental right of every person, it is linked to human dignity and is crucial to human growth and fulfillment,\u201d the Archbishop said, adding that anything that impedes these \u201cshould be approached in a holistic way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Believing that work should not be just about financial or economic progress, Tagle stressed that \u201cwork is not solely a task accomplished, a merchandise produced, or a target profit reached.”<\/p>\n
Tagle added, “Work is fundamentally what happens to the human person: the active mind, the sweaty brow, the fractured hand, the aching back, the grumbling stomach, the anxious heart, the zealous spirit, the dreams fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Archbishop also said that genuine working conditions can\u2019t be achieved by transactions alone but through a \u201ccovenant relationship between partners who respect and protect everyone’s dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a covenant relationship there is no room for exploitation,\u201d Tagle said.<\/p>\n
