When A. Philip Randolph assumed the leadership of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, he began a ten-year battle to win recognition from the Pullman Company, the largest private employer of Black people in the United States and the company that controlled the railroad industry’ s sleeping car and parlor service. In 1935 the Brotherhood became the first Black union recognized by a major corporation. Randolph’s efforts in the battle helped transform the attitude of Black workers toward unions and toward themselves as an identifiable group; eventually, Randolph helped to weaken organized labor’ s antagonism toward Black workers.
In the Pullman contest Randolph faced formidable obstacles. The first was Black workers ’ understandable skepticism toward unions, which had historically barred Black workers from membership. An additional obstacle was the union that Pullman itself had formed, which weakened support among Black workers for an independent entity.
The Brotherhood possessed a number of advantages, however, including Randolph’ s own tactical abilities. In 1928 he took the bold step of threatening a strike against Pullman. Such a threat, on a national scale, under Black leadership, helped replace the stereotype of the Black worker as servant with the image of the Black worker as wage earner. In addition, the porters’ very isolation aided the Brotherhood. Porters were scattered throughout the country, sleeping in dormitories in Black communities; their segregated life protected the union’ s internal communications from interception. That the porters were a homogeneous group working for a single employer with single labor policy, thus sharing the same grievances from city to city, also strengthened the Brotherhood and encouraged racial identity and solidarity as well. But it was only in the early 1930’s that federal legislation prohibiting a company from maintaining its own unions with company money eventually allowed the Brotherhood to become recognized as the porters representative.
Not content with this triumph, Randolph brought the Brotherhood into the American Federation of Labor, where it became the equal of the Federa- tion’ s 105 other unions. He reasoned that as a member union, the Brotherhood would be in a better position to exert pressure on member unions that practiced race restrictions. Such restric- tions were eventually found unconstitutional in 1944. [br] The passage supplies information concerning which of the following matters related to Randolph?
选项
A、The steps he took to initiate the founding of the Brotherhood.
B、His motivation for bringing the Brotherhood into the American Federation of Labor.
C、The influence he had on the passage of legislation overturning race restrictions in 1944.
D、The influence he had on the passage of legislation to bar companies from financing their own unions.
E、The success he and the Brotherhood had in influencing the policies of the other unions in the American Federation of Labor.
答案
B
解析
关于Randolph,文中提出过什么信息?A.建立兄弟会的步骤。initiate一词,原文未曾提出。B.正确。他将兄弟会加入“美国劳工联合会”的动机。在原文L60—64,作为平起平坐的成员,兄弟会可以对其他成员的种族倾向施加压力。C.对1944年法案通过的影响。无。D.对禁止公司支持自建工会法案通过的影响。此法案给Randolph带来好处,但未说他影响了该法案通过。E.成功地影响了其他工会的政策。情理中有,原文无。
