Workers' Rights
Workers deserve fair wages, safe conditions, and dignity in their work; exploiting workers violates the principle of human oneness.
Abdu'l-Bahá taught that workers have rights to fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignified treatment. The relationship between employers and employees should be one of mutual respect and partnership rather than exploitation. Workers who are not compensated fairly for their contribution are being treated unjustly.
The rights of workers are to be preserved and protected.
Bahá'í workers' rights teaching anticipates modern labor law frameworks and connects them to spiritual principles of human dignity.

Fair wages, safe conditions and dignity at work, with exploitation treated as a breach of human oneness. The argument runs from the theology rather than from economics.
