When Kathie Gifford’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Wal mart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s administration launched the "No Sweat" campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace conditions.
This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Con duct, a promise to serf-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 cede, 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.
According to the passage, Kathie Gifford ______ .
选项
A、was one of the underpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
B、was one of the well paid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
C、made much money from Cheap laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
D、wrote a newspaper article exposing the practice of employing cheap la borers
答案
C
解析
此题为细节题。见文章第一句话“When Kathie Gifford...condemn such practices.”,Katie Gifford的高利润的服装厂曝光了,之后她于1996年在报纸上被广泛报道。所以C为正确答案。A和B与本句意思不符,她不是一名工人;D说她写文章报道此事,也不对。
