Policy catalogueEconomy, Property, Finance and Work
Agreed PolicyWorkers may organize independently, while labour relations should move toward a corporatist system of permanent sectoral institutions representing workers, employers and professions.
Restore Europe rejects both worker powerlessness before concentrated capital and permanent class conflict as the organizing principle of economic life.
Implementation note
The manifesto expressly supports modern guilds, professional chambers and vocational corporations while rejecting occupational bodies as instruments of an omnipotent state. Catholic teaching also recognizes trade-union organization and proportionate strike action.
Last updated .
Workers, employers, craftsmen, farmers and professions should participate in sectoral institutions setting standards, apprenticeships and labour conditions.
Every worker is entitled to a just wage sufficient for a dignified life and the reasonable support of a family.
Work has dignity but is not the purpose of human existence. Economic progress should increase security, leisure and command over one's own life.
Corporations are legitimate instruments but remain subordinate to the common good, and concentrated corporate power may be restrained.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require. Positions are revised as the movement decides; the version and date above say which text you are reading.
