Of course, solutions to the tensions between workers and employees are not easy to achieve.

Work is a vital part of human existence.
From the social and community development viewpoint, work is critical to the creation of wealth and resources.

As individuals, we may need to work for the most basic material reasons, or to meet social and psychological needs. We develop as we work.
