 For Suárez, in order to have a distributive justice claim it is not enough to exhibit the quality that in principle entitles you to a share. He provides this illustration: if someone works in your vineyard without your knowledge or consent, this does not mean that you owe him wages. Distributive justice requires a background pact between the owner of the common stock (the community) and its members. This pact defines the criteria that allow members to have actionable claims to the receipt of a share of the common stock.
