We all have workers rights even though we dont work. We all have the right to participate in the work going on in school and at home. This is a way to participate in God's work. Those that do work like our parents have the right to decent work, just wages, and safe working conditions and to participate in decisions about their work.This is how it should be but that doesnt mean it always happens. Take sweatshops for example. People are being worked to hard, underpayed, and they dont have a say in whether they want to stay and work or leave. They are abused and threatened and just dont work in safe working conditions. Do you think this is fair to them? I dont think so! It goes against all of the CST's completely. Imagine if you were forced to work long hours during the day and leave with little to no money after you had been through grueling work and harsh threats. Many people do these jobs to try to bring home a little bit of money at the end of the day, but most of the time that doesn't even happen. Yes, it is hard to believe, but it does happen and by living out the CST's it would help get rid of things such as this. What would you do if you had to work in a sweatshop??

I don't really agree that this is slavery. I completely agree with you that this is wrong, and all workers should be treated well, but I wouldn't exactly call it slavery. Slavery, in my opinion, is when you are treated more like a savage than an actual human being, and are lynched because you tried to run away. Slavery is when you are torn from your family and have no privacy or rights whatsoever. While, I don't agree that unjust wages necessarily equals slavery, I do think that this is really unfair. Everyone should be payed, and treated like a human being. Other than that one thing, I really like your article, and how you made it understandable. We should do something about workers' rights, and I feel inspired after readig your article.
