Spanish Catholic Church advocacy for labor dignity

Overview

In observance of World Decent Work Day, various Catholic dioceses in Spain have issued calls for labor dignity and economic ethics. Leading up to the observance, the Dioceses of Segorbe-Castellón and Sigüenza-Guadalajara emphasized that work should serve the person rather than the economy, highlighting risks such as precariousness, insufficient wages, and the mental health impacts of job instability.

Following the observance, dioceses in Plasencia and Osma-Soria held events to address the link between stable employment and social exclusion. In Plasencia, church leaders met with labor unions to discuss how precarious conditions affect vulnerable groups like youth, women, and migrants. In Osma-Soria, the diocese issued a manifesto advocating for secure, sufficiently remunerated employment and work-life balance, emphasizing human dignity over economic productivity.
