TOOTS OPLE
EVERY person has the right to rise, like sunrise parting the clouds of social inequity and poverty. This right includes just compensation, security of tenure, and social protection–all rights that define dignity of labor. Unfortunately, the right to rise to one’s fullest potential and earn a decent wage for the welfare of one’s family is compromised when he or she is not even classified as an employee. When government does this to its own citizens, then the very essence of public service is bastardized.
