Support of Labor Growth Is Called Church Function
The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America lauds church backing of labor’s growth as a path to economic justice and worker dignity. It urges fair compensation, noncommodity treatment, political and economic participation, reconciliation between labor and management, and a global peace‑oriented national policy.

Noted Faith Claim on Property and Social Responsibility
A declared statement asserts that all forms of human ownership and use of property are trusts with responsibility to God and society. It argues Christians controlling economic power must direct economic forces toward service to the whole community, including managers and labor representatives.
Joint action for mutual aid in modern economic life
The statement argues that large enterprises and new financing empower workers less to cope alone. It urges Christians to unite for mutual aid and protection, seeking a baseline living standard, equal opportunities for youth, and the duty to serve the community through work under fair conditions.
