"Jesus invites us and challenges us to become prophets of God's Mercy and speak up for and speak out for those who suffer and are exploited. This means reminding our fellow Christians and our fellow citizens of the reality of exploitation in our country and our world today. This means reminding the leaders of business that the dignity of all workers (no matter how menial their work is) must be respected. This means reminding and working with Government to ensure that everything is done that can be done (through legislation and action) to eradicate such exploitation and prevent it happening in the future. This means doing all we can to bring to justice the perpetrators of such injustice."
