(ANSA) - Vatican City, May 6 - Pope Francis on Wednesday
appealed for migrant farm hands picking crops in Italy with bad
conditions and low pay.
"I have received several messages on the world of work and
its problems. In particular, I have been struck by the plight of
farm labourers, many of them migrants, who work in the Italian
fields," he said.
"Unfortunately, on many occasions they are harshly exploited.
"It's true that there is a crisis for everyone, but people's
dignity must always be respected. I therefore welcome the appeal
of these workers and all exploited workers and I urge everyone
to use the crisis as an opportunity to focus once again on the
dignity of the human person and the dignity of work".
