In more than 80 cities nationwide Interfaith Worker Justice sponsors Labor In The Pulpits during Labor Day weekend to honor the concept of worker justice in religious teaching. Kim Bobo is Executive Director of Interfaith Worker Justice. [Bobo]: “They just speak passage after passage about treating your neighbor justly, caring for people, making sure that wealth is not concentrated in the hands of a handful of people. I mean, they’re all passages that relate to faith at work. It turns out that solidarity with workers is next to godliness whether you’re Christian, Jewish or Muslim. [Bobo2]: “If you think about the first sort of public strike, it was really led by Moses, right, who said, you know, I’m gonna to take people out in the desert, we’re going to stop working if you don’t treat people better.”
