You decide to give Myca limited aid and fund local labor rights NGOs.

You contact U.S.-based advocacy groups and ask them to map out training and support programs. They say that they will start working with Mycan unions right away. They will provide computers to enable the groups to organize and educate voters.

It might take a while for these groups to become effective, but eventually, the government will have to respect workers’ rights. USAID says it will send as much aid as it safely can, but it will be much less than Myca needs.

Relations between government and labor should be conducted with respect for human rights. This is essential to a healthy democracy.

The latest survey shows that 85 percent of Americans support the Mycan graphite workers.

Even though the government violated international norms, I’m glad the U.S. is still giving Myca some humanitarian aid. We can’t let people suffer.
