There was a discussion about work & labor earlier.

Remember: there is labor as a commodity to be bought and sold and there is the concept of work and employment as a social and moral benefit.

Where is the “dignity of labor” if a worker’s wages are not enough to feed, clothe and educate a family towards a better life?

Instead, we have workers put on the same level as staples, toner or copier paper, something to be economized and rationalized and disposed of once used.
