RIGHT to Work: What it Meant?

RIGHT to Work: What it Meant?

Every right has a corresponding obligation (or duty). Says for example, that if an individual has the right to work and earn his living, it is his duty to recognize the same right to others (and concede to them their right to work and earn a decent living). Thus, it also meant to says, that one can enjoy one’s right only if one respects the right of others.

Hence, if the individual (or organization) fail to perform that duty, it is for the state to see that the individual (or organization) act as a moral unit in the society. The state exists to maintain, coordinate and ensure that the individual perform and fulfill that right, to himself and to others.
