| Pope Visits Factory Workers, Highlights the Dignity of Work |
By VANESSA GERA, ANTONIO CALANNI 2017-05-28
Pope Francis highlighted the struggles that workers face in a globalized economy with a visit Saturday to a troubled steel factory in Genoa, where he stressed how jobs give people a sense of human dignity and denounced those who exploit workers. "One sickness of the economy is the gradual transformation of entrepreneurs into speculators," the pontiff said. "The speculator doesn’t love his business, doesn’t love the workers, but only sees the business and workers as the means to make profit." Francis also denounced those who claim that workers do their jobs only for the money, saying that "denies the dignity of work." |
