Passage 8

Prior to 1975, union efforts to organize public-sector

clerical workers, most of whom are women, were some-

what limited（B，描述一个事实，但是并没有说这是consideration）. The factors favoring unionization drives

seem to have been either the presence of large numbers

(5) of workers,（A的定位） as in LACE w:st="on">New York CityLACE>, to make it worth the

effort, or the concentration of small numbers in one or

two locations（C的定位）, such as a hospital, to make it relatively

easy, Receptivity to unionization on the workers, part

was also a consideration（D的定位）, but when there were large

(10) numbers involved or the clerical workers were the only

unorganized group in a jurisdiction, the multioccupa-

tional unions would often try to organize them regard-

less of the workers’ initial receptivity.（E的定位） The strategic

reasoning was based, first, on the concern that politi-

(15) cians and administrators might play off unionized

against nonunionized workers, and, second, on the

conviction that a fully unionized public work force

meant power, both at the bargaining table and in the

legislature. In localities where clerical workers were few

(20) in number, were scattered in several workplaces, and

expressed no interest in being organized, unions more

often than not ignored them in the pre-1975 period.
