When Kathie Gifford’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Walmart clothing was exposed as the work of urulerpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to corulemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s administration launched the "No Swear" campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic iruleperulent inspection of their workplace conditions.
This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct a promise to self-regulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of the nation’s largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $1 billion garment business that would make it the country’s 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections.
Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the code, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer financed contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. "I just assume that they are adhering to safety and health requirements," she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act Request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years. [br] What is this passage mainly concerned with?
选项
A、The functions of the Department of Labor in America.
B、A serious problem threatening American economy.
C、The successful attempt to regulate sweatshops in America.
D、The seriousness of the problem of sweatshops in America.
答案
D
解析
文章从开始就讲述众多的低收入工人集体抗议工作条件,导致Kathie Gifford的服装厂被曝光,白宫和劳工部对此谴责,克林顿政府发起“无血汗”运动,要求制造厂商签署遵守《工作场所操作规范》,可是国防部拒绝签署。可见美国政府部门对于血汗工厂的问题存有分歧,难以解决。根裾文章的中心大意来理解,可见A太泛。不是讲美国劳工部的职能;B不对。此问题不会威胁到美国的经济;C与文章意思相反。美国规范血汗工厂的努力并没有成功;D符合文章主题。
