Case:

You have been hired to intervene as a conflict mediator in a dispute between the New beginning company and the Las Américas community. It arose from the claim of the residents of this community that New beginning intends to be established in their locality "without having been consulted, not knowing if there is a study that guarantees that the establishment of the company will not go against the protection of the environment. and that they intend to create jobs without them being able to compete on equal terms to occupy them ". For this reason, they have held several protests and threaten to prevent the entry of workers if their claims are not properly addressed. For their part, the company directors rejected these allegations, but they have refused to communicate directly with the residents of this community and to deliver the requested environmental study, given the negative attitude that the residents have presented.
