A grass roots hands on approach at the source would probably have a greater impact. You could teach them about improved working conditions, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and the ability to form unions or to unite.
As Getter and others have already mentioned - it seems to be a very popular thing to attack the U.S. companies and the U.S. government for the problems in other countries. The problem is a lack of education at the source.
I agree whole heartidly with the education of workers and think it's an excellent idea! It's already in place in many factories in Mexico and some i believe are unionized. Education is key in trying to solve this problem and i think everyone from the workers, companies and the goverment have a responsibility to seriously address this issue. It would be beneficial to all!
