For me, beyond the rhetorics, sounding like a labour activist, what is the working conditions of juniors in the law firms of these aspirants? What have they done for workers in their law firms?

Against this backdrop, I ask you, when you read their Workers Day Wish, ask yourself, do they practice what they preach? Are lawyers in their law firm, earning living wages or mere survival wages?
