Comma

I think there should be a comma before "counseling". Because the retailers counsel for the works, not "human rights" counsel for the workers. Right?

Context:

On the other, image-conscious U.S. retailers who buy Dongguan's shoes have demanded better treatment and human rights counseling for the workers, encouraging them to step up and make demands for change.
