We do not get dignity from power or money or culture. We get dignity from work. Work is fundamental to the dignity of the person. Work, to use an image, anoints with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked and still works, who always acts.
I address a strong appeal that the dignity and the safety of the worker always be protected.
--Pope Francis
