Lyddie makes several decisions in chapter 14, so I am not one hundred percent sure which decision that you are asking about.
One decision that Lyddie makes is the decision to not sign the petition for improved work conditions. She is afraid of getting blacklisted from the factories.
In chapter 14, Lyddie is now the factory's best worker. She is working multiple looms at the same time. Because of her proficiency, Lyddie is assigned to train Brigid, a new factory girl. Lyddie thinks that Brigid is stupid and incapable, and by the end of the first day, Lyddie decides to tell her boss that Brigid is ready for her own loom. Lyddie does that because she is frustrated with teaching the new girl.
By the end of the first day, the girl was far from ready to operate her own machine, but Lyddie had run out of patience. She told Mr. Marsden to assign the girl a loom next to her own.
The last thing that Lyddie decides to do is send a dollar home to her mother to help pay off the family debt.
