  1. To the Editors:
    This sucks! In spite of the gains of globalization on the economy, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. It is unthinkable that in the Third Millennium, a post-industrial era in terms of human development and progress, the workers get only a trickle an effect. When it comes to having a just share in the fruits of their labor, the workers are still left out. It goes without saying that for as long as the workers of capital appropriate only for themselves excessive advantage, claiming all the goods and profits while leaving the barest minimum necessary for human survival to the workers, the latter have no dignity of labor. From the sweat of their brows feed the nation but could barely survive or keep body and soul in one piece. With their brawn, they build homes and tall buildings but could not even provide shelter for their own family. With their skills and acumen, they make all kinds of fancy clothes but could not have a piece even for each of themselves and their children. Such travesty is an affront to human dignity.
