Every election is an opportunity for people of faith to reaffirm their commitment to the values that respect the dignity and sanctity of life. This November, we in Illinois have a historic opportunity to recognize the deeply ingrained link between faith and worker justice. The Workers’ Rights Amendment will be at the very top of your ballot.
The dignity of work is at the core of all faith traditions. Passages in the Quran, Torah and Bible all discuss the dignity of work, justice in fair payment and respect for all who work. Scripture tells us that worker oppression is an assault on the sacredness and dignity every human being deserves.
