The Pope stresses the need to guarantee workers a fair wage and working hours.
"When the only law becomes the calculation of earnings at the end of the day, then there is no longer any restriction on adopting the logic of exploiting people: the others are only means. There are no longer just wages, right working hours, and they are created new forms of slavery - the Pope writes in the message for the World Day of the Poor -, suffered by people who have no alternative and must accept this poisonous injustice in order to scrape together the minimum for sustenance ".
