Final Statement of the International Seminar and General Assembly of WMCW - Ávila (Spain) 2017

Details
Also available:  Español   Deutsch   Français 

Gathered to discuss and renew our commitment to bringing the Gospel closer to the world of work, we have completed the work of the International Seminar and the General Assembly – WMCW - on the theme "Land, Housing and Work for a decent life". This seminar was held in Avila, Spain, from 15 to 21 July 2017, and has brought together 120 delegates from 42 movements of Christian workers from Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

During these days, we have lived together in a caring and fraternal way. We were welcomed by the city, its diocese, its mass media and for that we are very grateful. During our meeting, we were able to welcome among us the main leaders of the Church and the trade union representatives of Spain, who encouraged us to continue building bridges between the world of the Church and the world of work.

We thank God for 50 years of Christian presence in the world of work and for this journey alongside so many working brothers, sharing their doubts and hopes, their joys and their sorrows.

We feel supported by Pope Francis in our task of evangelization. In his message to our Assembly, through the Bishop of Avila, the Pope invites us to « bring the Gospel closer to the world of work, so that the voice of workers continues to resonate within the Church; and to lead the struggle so that the whole world can live in dignity, with no one excluded from it. »

From our perspective of believers, we have shared our experience and our presence in the different realities of the movements that make up the WMCW. The International Labour Organization (ILO), the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the Popular Movement of Forgotten Neighbourhoods shared their experience with us. We have deepened the teaching of Pope Francis on pastoral work, the economy of rejection and decent work.

WMCW May 1st Statement: "Long Live the Working Class!"

Details
Also available:  Español   Deutsch 

Here comes another celebration on 1st May. We are encouraged to reflect on the history of the working class. We want decent work, a fairer society and a more equal economy, that enable us to live in dignity.

We carry out this struggle on a daily basis, whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring. We finish late in the evening and start early in the morning, to work or to look for a job. Through this action to support oneself or a family, we realise that we are not alone. There are dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions of people who, like us, after drinking a coffee or a glass of water, struggle for a fair salary, so that all workers’ dignity is respected in this world with so many inequalities. One cannot but wonder: why VERY FEW people have a lot whereas MANY have so little, my God, isn’t the wealth of this planet intended to all!
