    for work
    R ERUM
    N OVARUM
    S ITUATION OF W ORKERS

     Most workers experience poverty


     There is a decline in public morality
     Greedy employers exploit workers
     Government does not give attention to the poor
    Reminds us that:

     Everything starts and ends with God;


    everything belongs equally to all
     Different talents exist among persons, but
    everyone is equal in dignity
     Man is a gifted with reason
     Common good should be everyone’s goal;
    everyone has a right to social participation
    As members of the Church:

     The Church has the right to speak since


    social matters affect religion and morality
     Gospel principles help reconcile and
    unify classes
     The Church can educate people to act justly
    Who are the Workers?
    • Each person who exerts this human power
    can be considered a worker. He or she
    contributes to the development of the
    world.
    • “ the Church teaches the value of work not
    only because it is always something that
    belongs to the person but also because of
    its nature as something necessary” (CSDC,
    287)
    Mater et Magistra
     Relationship
    between workers
    and managers
    whose relationship
    should be re-
    established based
    on justice and
    equity.
    HOME
    Laborem Exercen;
    “ On the basis of his work, each person is fully entitled to consider
    himself a part-owner of the great workbench where he is working
    with everyone else” (LE, 14)
    - o misuse men as though they were things in the
    pursuit of gain, or to value them solely for their
    physical powers – that is truly shameful and
    inhuman.

    HOME
    These Encyclicals or Documents
    reminds us:
    • Workers are human beings,
    therefore, we have the same
    rights and dignity that needs to
    be respected and protected.
    • Respect them as you respect
    yourself.
