OG passage18 两句翻译……

04-04/18

In the Pullman contest Randolph faced formidable

obstacles. The first was Black workers’ understandable

( 15) 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.

不是很懂蓝色部分怎么给R造成了困难。

这个union怎么weaken support了呀。这句话不是很懂

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 restrictions

were eventually found unconstitutional in 1944

文中的practice如何解释？？

谢谢！！

赫赫，欧刚看了这篇文章。

An additional obstacle was the union that Pullman itself had formed, which weakened support among Black workers for an independent entity.

另外一个障碍是pullman自己组织的工会，它削弱了黑人工人对一个独立工会的支持。就是说pullman中有些黑人参加自己组织的工会了，自然会影响对R所组织的brotherhood的支持程度。

那个practice偶也想知道准确的含义。mm看得真仔细

that practice race restrictions 作定语从句，修饰member unions,指这些member unions还在实施种族限制。
