Justice in Employment?

Think the following makes sense? Yes.
Where can it be found? Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Germany

* (1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
* (2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
* (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
* (4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.

At the Visitors’ Center in Buchenwald, anyone viewing the site of Nazi atrocities can obtain a free copy of a document called The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It is incredibly ironic that in that place of all places, a colleague observed that the message is crystal clear to all but the willfully ignorant.

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and “to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories.”
