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 was the purpose of President Clinton’s administration to launch the "No Swear" campaign?
选项
A、To urge manufacturers to obey the Workplace Code of Conduct.
B、To remind the manufacturers of the Workplace Code of Conduct.
C、To urge the Department of Labor to take its responsibility.
D、To urge the Department of Defense to inspect manufacturers.
答案
A
解析
文章第段最后—句话“with much fanfare…,their work place conditions”是说,克林顿政府大张旗鼓地勒令制造商们对车间环境进行定期检查。关键词有pressure(强制,压迫,勒令),to submit to(屈服,服从)。第二段第一句话“this campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Conduct”更加直接说明了这场运动的目的,即让他们签署并执行这—规范。故A为正确答案。
