Employment

Work and the need to work should never be the means of exploiting anyone for another's gain.
- New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference, 2010

Caritas stands up for the dignity of work, and the protection of vulnerable workers. Through work, we participate in society, and form relationships with others.  These  involve ethical and moral considerations, on which Catholic social teaching offers much guidance.

Caritas’ advocacy on work and employment includes:

• Children's employment
• Easter trading and holidays
• Employment legislation
