Jonagger,

Like you I lived in a number of 3rd world countries - the South East Asian region for over 10 years and for multi-national countries, so RED article to me was very positive. The secret in doing business in these companies is that you have to have a solution to the problem, even before you have that problem. It's then always quick and easy to put out the problems before they can ignite into something that then costs effort, time and money. You have to have systems in place and build honest and transparent relationships - if then problems arise they are quickly resolved. Like having a fire prevention program!

I was quite surprised that RED could solve the issue quickly. Means that they have good relationships. If you look at the other side you see people that want jobs - these people aren't lazy and they work hard. It's just hard sometimes to communicate to them that their isn't a job at the mine, when their friends do have work.
