Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
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 Conduct, a
promise to selfregulate 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.
