Ngaphambi kokuba nabani na eve nge-coronavirus entsha ebangela esi sifo ngoku esibizwa ngokuba yi-COVID-19, uTerri Johnson wayenesicwangciso. Lonke ishishini lifanele, utshilo uJohnson, umlawuli wezempilo nokhuseleko emsebenzini we-WS Badcock Corp. eMulberry, eFlorida.
“Ngokucacileyo, sifanele sicwangcisele okubi size sithembe ukuba kuza kuba ngcono,” utshilo uJohnson, umongikazi oqinisekisiweyo wezempilo emsebenzini osebenzele ilungu le-Home Furnishings Association uBadcock iminyaka engama-30. Le ntsholongwane, ukuba iyaqhubeka nokusasazeka, isenokuba yenye yezona ngxaki zinkulu ajongene nazo ngelo xesha.
Esi sifo, esaqala kwiphondo laseHubei eTshayina, sanciphisa ukwenziwa nokuhanjiswa kwempahla kwelo lizwe, saphazamisa uthutho lwehlabathi. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, imagazini iFortune yaqhagamshelana ne-HFA ifuna umbono wefenitshala yokuthengisa ngempembelelo. Inqaku layo lalinomxholo othi, “Njengoko i-coronavirus isasazeka, kwanabathengisi befenitshala e-US baqala ukuziva impembelelo.”
“Siza kuphelelwa kancinci kwezinye iimveliso — kodwa ukuba ziyaqhubeka, emva kwexesha elithile kuza kufuneka ufumane iimveliso kwenye indawo,” utshilo uJesús Capó. UCapó, usekela-mongameli kunye negosa eliyintloko lolwazi kwi-El Dorado Furniture eMiami, ngumongameli we-HFA.
“Sinesixhobo sokukhusela iimeko ezingalindelekanga, kodwa ukuba siqhubeka nokubona ukulibaziseka, sisenokungabi nasitokhwe saneleyo okanye kufuneka sifumane izinto ngaphakathi kweli lizwe,” uxelele uJameson Dion uFortune. Ungusekela mongameli we-global seeking kwiCity Furniture eTamarac, eFla. “Silindele impembelelo enkulu kwishishini, asazi ukuba imbi kangakanani na.”
Iimpembelelo ezinokubakho zingaziveza nangezinye iindlela. Nangona ukudluliselwa kwentsholongwane e-US kuncitshisiwe ngaphandle kweendawo ezimbalwa, kwaye isoyikiso kuluntu ngokubanzi sisahleli siphantsi, amagosa aseZiko loLawulo lweZifo kunye noSulelo aqikelela ukuba kuza kubakho ubhubhane omkhulu apha.
“Kuyamangalisa indlela esi sifo esisasazeke ngayo ngokukhawuleza kwaye kuninzi okwenzekileyo ukusukela oko iTshayina yaqala ukuxela amatyala esifo esitsha ekupheleni kukaDisemba,” utshilo uGqr. Nancy Messonnier, umlawuli weZiko leSizwe lokuGonywa kunye neZifo zokuPhefumla kwiCDC, nge-28 kaFebruwari. Wayethetha nabameli beshishini kwifowuni elungiselelwe yiNational Retail Federation.
Ingozi yokusasazeka koluntu ingakhokelela ekurhoxisweni kwemicimbi emikhulu kawonke-wonke. I-High Point Market Authority ithe ijonge uphuhliso kodwa isaceba ukuqhuba imakethi yasentwasahlobo ukususela nge-25 ukuya kwi-29 ka-Epreli. Kodwa eso sigqibo sinokwenziwa yirhuluneli yaseNorth Carolina, uRoy Cooper, onegunya lokumisa imicimbi ngenxa yezizathu zempilo yoluntu. Kubonakala ngathi ukuza kwabantu kuya kuba sezantsi, ngenxa yemiqathango yokuhamba kwamanye amazwe kunye nokukhathazeka e-US.
UFord Porter, usekela-mlawuli wonxibelelwano kwiRhuluneli uCooper, ukhuphe ingxelo nge-28 kaFebruwari: “Imakethi yefenitshala yaseHigh Point inexabiso elikhulu kwezoqoqosho kulo mmandla nakurhulumente wonke. Akukho njongo yokuyirhoxisa. Iqela elijongene ne-coronavirus liza kuqhubeka ligxile ekuthinteleni nasekulungiseleleni, kwaye sibongoza bonke abantu baseMantla Carolini ukuba benze okufanayo.”
"ISebe lezeMpilo kunye neeNkonzo zoLuntu kunye noLawulo lweeNgxakeko libeka esweni i-coronavirus kwaye lisebenzisana nabemi baseNorth Carolina ukuthintela nokulungiselela amatyala anokubakho. Kwimeko yengxakeko, isigqibo sokuchaphazela isiganeko eNorth Carolina siya kwenziwa ngokubambisana namagosa ezempilo kunye nokhuseleko loluntu kunye neenkokheli zasekuhlaleni. Okwangoku akukho sizathu sokuchaphazela iziganeko ezicwangcisiweyo kwilizwe, kwaye abantu baseNorth Carolina kufuneka baqhubeke nokumamela amagosa e-DHHS kunye noLawulo lweeNgxakeko ukuze bafumane uhlaziyo kunye nesikhokelo."
Umboniso wefenitshala yeSalone del Mobile eMilan, e-Itali, uhlehlise umboniso wawo ka-Epreli kude kube nguJuni, kodwa “asikabikho kweli lizwe okwangoku,” utshilo uGqr. Lisa Koonin, umseki weHealth Preparedness Partners LLC, kwifowuni yeCDC kaFebruwari 28. “Kodwa ndingathi hlalani nilindile, kuba ukulibazisa iindibano ezinkulu luhlobo lokuzigcina kude, kwaye inokuba sisixhobo esinokucetyiswa ngamagosa ezempilo karhulumente ukuba sibona ubhubhane omkhulu.”
UJohnson kaBadcock akanakwenza nto ngaloo nto, kodwa angathatha amanyathelo okukhusela abasebenzi kunye nabathengi benkampani yakhe. Abanye abathengisi kufuneka bacinge ngamanyathelo afanayo.
Okokuqala kukubonelela ngolwazi olufanelekileyo. Abathengi sele bebuza ukuba banokosulelwa na kukudibana neempahla ezithunyelwa zivela eTshayina, utshilo uJohnson. Ulungiselele imemo kubaphathi beevenkile esithi akukho bungqina bokuba le ntsholongwane idluliselwe ebantwini ukusuka kwiimpahla ezingenisiweyo. Loo mngcipheko uphantsi, ngenxa yokuba iintsholongwane ezinjalo azikwazi ukusinda kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, ingakumbi xa iimveliso zithuthwa kangangeentsuku ezininzi okanye iiveki kubushushu obuqhelekileyo.
Ngenxa yokuba indlela enokwenzeka yokudlulisela isifo kukudumba kwamathumbu okuphefumla kunye nokudibana komntu nomntu, le memo icebisa abaphathi beevenkile ukuba balandele amanyathelo afanayo okuthintela abawasebenzisayo ukunciphisa ukuvezwa kumkhuhlane oqhelekileyo okanye usulelo lwendlela yokuphefumla: ukuhlamba izandla, ukugquma ukukhwehlela nokuthimla, ukusula iikhawuntara kunye nezinye iindawo kunye nokuthumela abasebenzi ababonakala begula ekhaya.
Ingongoma yokugqibela ibaluleke kakhulu, utshilo uJohnson. “Abaphathi kufuneka baqaphele baze bazi ukuba bajonge ntoni,” utshilo. Iimpawu zicacile: ukukhohlela, ukuxinana, ukuphefumla kancinci. Abasebenzi abamalunga nama-500 basebenza kwiofisi ephambili yaseBadcock eMulberry, kwaye uJohnson ufuna ukubona nokuvavanya nawuphi na umsebenzi onezo mpawu. Amanyathelo anokwenzeka aquka ukumthumela ekhaya okanye, ukuba
kuyafuneka, kwisebe lezempilo lendawo ukuze livavanywe. Abasebenzi kufuneka bahlale emakhaya ukuba abaziva kakuhle. Banelungelo lokuya emakhaya ukuba bacinga ukuba impilo yabo isengozini emsebenzini - kwaye abanakohlwaywa ukuba benjenjalo, utshilo uJohnson.
Ukujongana nabathengi ababonisa iimpawu yinto enzima. UGqr. Koonin ucebise ukuba kubekwe imiqondiso ecela abantu abagulayo ukuba bangangeni evenkileni. Kodwa iziqinisekiso kufuneka zihambe macala omabini. “Lungela ukuphendula xa abathengi bexhalabile okanye befuna ulwazi,” utshilo. “Bafanele bazi ukuba ubakhuphela ngaphandle abasebenzi abagulayo emsebenzini wakho ukuze bazive beqinisekile ukuba bangene.”
Ukongeza, “Okwangoku lixesha elifanelekileyo lokucinga ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuhambisa iimpahla kunye neenkonzo kubathengi,” utshilo uKoonin. “Siphila kwixesha elimangalisayo apho kungeyonto yonke ekufuneka yenziwe ubuso ngobuso. Cinga ngeendlela zokunciphisa unxibelelwano olusondeleyo phakathi kwabasebenzi kunye nabathengi.”
Oko akuthethi ukuba loo manyathelo ayadingeka ngoku, kodwa amashishini kufuneka abe nezicwangciso zendlela aza kusebenza ngayo xa kuqhambuka ubhubhane omkhulu.
“Kubalulekile ukuba ucinge ngendlela yokujonga nokuphendula amazinga aphezulu okungabikho emsebenzini,” utshilo uKoonin. “Asazi ukuba kuza kwenzeka ntoni emva koko, kodwa kukho ithuba lokuba inani elikhulu labantu liza kugula, nokuba uninzi lwabo luza kuba lugula kancinci. Emva koko kungafuneka singabi nabasebenzi, kwaye oko kunokuchaphazela imisebenzi yakho.”
Xa abasebenzi bebonakalisa iimpawu ezihambelana ne-COVID-19, “kufuneka bahlale ngaphandle kwendawo yokusebenza,” utshilo uKoonin. “Ukuze wenze oko, kufuneka uqiniseke ukuba imigaqo-nkqubo yakho yekhefu lokugula iyaguquguquka kwaye ihambelana nesikhokelo sempilo yoluntu. Ngoku, ayizizo zonke iinkampani ezinemigaqo-nkqubo yekhefu lokugula kubo bonke abasebenzi bazo, ngoko ke ungacinga ngokuphuhlisa imigaqo-nkqubo yekhefu lokugula elingxamisekileyo xa kufuneka uyisebenzise.”
EBadcock, uJohnson uqokelele uluhlu lwenkxalabo yabasebenzi ngokusekelwe kwimisebenzi okanye imisebenzi yabo. Ngaphezulu ngabo bahamba amazwe ngamazwe. Uhambo oluya eVietnam lurhoxisiwe kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, utshilo.
Okulandelayo ngabaqhubi abaneendlela ezinde ezidlula kumazwe aseMzantsi-mpuma apho iBadcock isebenza khona amakhulu eevenkile. Emva koko ngabahloli, abasebenzi bokulungisa kunye nabanye abahamba baye kwiivenkile ezininzi. Abaqhubi bokuhambisa impahla basekuhlaleni bangaphantsi kancinci kuluhlu, nangona umsebenzi wabo unokuba buhlungu ngexesha lobhubhane. Impilo yaba basebenzi iya kubekwa esweni, kwaye kukho izicwangciso zokwenza umsebenzi wabo ukuba bayagula. Ezinye izinto ezinokwenzeka ziquka ukusebenzisa iishifti ezijikelezayo kunye nokuhambisa abasebenzi abasempilweni ukusuka kwenye indawo ukuya kwenye. Izixhobo zeemaski ziya kufumaneka ukuba ziyafuneka - iimaski zokuphefumla ze-N95 ezikhuselayo ngokwenene endaweni yeemaski ezingasebenziyo abanye abathengisi abazithengisayo, utshilo uJohnson. (Nangona kunjalo, iingcali zempilo zigxininisa ukuba akukho mfuneko yokuba uninzi lwabantu lunxibe iimaski ngeli xesha.)
Okwangoku, uJohnson uyaqhubeka nokujonga izinto zamva nje kwaye ethetha namagosa ezempilo asekuhlaleni - eli licebiso kanye elinikwa ngamagosa e-CDC.
Abantu abane kwabalishumi abaphendule kuphando lwe-NRF olukhutshwe nge-5 kaMatshi bathi iindlela zabo zokubonelela ziphazanyisiwe yimiphumo ye-coronavirus. Abanye abangama-26 ekhulwini bathi balindele ukuphazamiseka.
Uninzi lwabaphenduli lubonise ukuba banemigaqo-nkqubo yokujongana nokuvalwa okunokwenzeka okanye ukungabikho kwabasebenzi ixesha elide.
Iingxaki zobonelelo ezichongiweyo ngabathathi-nxaxheba kuphando ziquka ukulibaziseka kweemveliso ezigqityiweyo kunye nezixhobo, ukunqongophala kwabasebenzi kwimizi-mveliso, ukulibaziseka kokuthunyelwa kweekhonteyina kunye nokuhanjiswa okuncinci kwezinto zokupakisha ezenziwe eTshayina.
"Sivumele ukwandiswa kwemizi-mveliso saza sabeka iiodolo kwangethuba ukuze siphephe ukulibaziseka okuphantsi kolawulo lwethu."
"Sifuna ngamandla imithombo emitsha yehlabathi yokusebenza eYurophu, kummandla wePasifiki kunye nakwilizwekazi lase-US"
"Ukuceba ukuthenga izinto ezingaphezulu esingafuni ukuzithengisa, kunye nokuqala ukuqwalasela iindlela zokuhambisa ukuba abantu abahambi ngeenyawo bayasilela."
Ukhuphiswano lobumongameli beDemokhrasi luqala ukuhlangana kwaye lufumana umdla. Owayesakuba yiMeya uPete Buttigieg kunye noSen. Amy Klobuchar bagqibe iiphulo zabo baza baxhasa owayesakuba yiSekela Mongameli uJoe Biden ngaphambi kweSuper Tuesday.
Emva kokungaphumeleli kwakhe kwiSuper Tuesday, owayesakuba yiMeya yeSixeko saseNew York uMichael Bloomberg naye washiya isikhundla sakhe waza wamxhasa uBiden. Olandelayo yayinguSenator Elizabeth Warren, eshiya ingxabano phakathi kukaBiden noSanders.
Iinkxalabo noloyiko oluxhaphakileyo malunga ne-coronavirus lubambe ulawulo lukaTrump kunye neCongress njengoko bebesebenzisana ukuphumeza amanyathelo oncedo-mali olungxamisekileyo ukujongana nengxaki yezempilo. Ulawulo lubandakanyeke ngokuthe ngqo noluntu lwezoshishino ukukhuthaza iindlela zokugcina abasebenzi kunye nabathengi bekhuselekile. Le ngxaki ibangele ukungazinzi kwezoqoqosho okwethutyana e-US kwaye yafumana ingqalelo kwangoko kwi-White House.
UMongameli uTrump utyumbe uGqr. Nancy Beck, umncedisi womlawuli kwi-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo, ukuba abe ngusihlalo weKhomishini yoKhuseleko lweeMveliso zaBathengi. UBeck unemvelaphi kurhulumente wobumbano kwaye njengelungu labasebenzi kwiBhunga leKhemistri laseMelika. Ishishini lefenitshala lisebenze noBeck ngaphambili kwimithetho yokukhupha i-formaldehyde kwi-EPA.
Imiba enxulumene nokugutyungelwa kwefenitshala iye yagxininiswa kwiiveki zakutshanje kunye nezilumkiso zemveliso ezivela ngqo kwi-CPSC malunga neendawo zokugcina impahla ezingazinzanga. Oku kwenzeka kwimeko yokwenziwa kwayo kwemithetho okuqhubekayo. Silindele ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga noko kungekudala.
Ngomhla wama-27 kuJanuwari, i-EPA ichonge i-formaldehyde njengenye yeekhemikhali ezingama-20 "eziphambili" zokuvavanya umngcipheko phantsi koMthetho woLawulo lweZinto eziTyhefu. Oku kuqalisa inkqubo yabavelisi kunye nabangenisi beekhemikhali ukuba babelane ngenxalenye yeendleko zovavanyo lomngcipheko, ezixabisa i-$1.35 yezigidi. Umrhumo ubalwa ngokwesiseko somntu ngamnye esimiselwe luluhlu lweenkampani eziza kupapashwa yi-EPA. Abavelisi befenitshala kunye nabathengisi, kwezinye iimeko, bangenisa i-formaldehyde njengenxalenye yeemveliso zomthi ezidityanisiweyo. Uluhlu lokuqala oluvela kwi-EPA aluzange lubandakanye naziphi na abavelisi befenitshala okanye abathengisi, kodwa amagama omthetho we-EPA aya kufuna ukuba ezo nkampani zizazise nge-portal ye-EPA. Uluhlu lokuqala lwaluneenkampani okanye iingeniso ezizodwa ezingama-525.
Injongo ye-EPA yayikukubamba iinkampani ezenza nezingenisa i-formaldehyde, kodwa i-EPA iphonononga iindlela zokunceda ezo nkampani mhlawumbi zingazisanga ngale nto. I-EPA yongeze ixesha lokuphawula uluntu kude kube ngumhla wama-27 ku-Epreli. Siza kuhlala sibandakanyeka ekuxeleleni amalungu ngayo nayiphi na inyathelo elilandelayo.
Ukuphunyezwa kwesivumelwano sorhwebo seSigaba sokuQala phakathi kwe-US ne-China kuye kwaqhubeka nangona kukho ukulibaziseka okubangelwe yimpembelelo ye-coronavirus e-China nase-US Ngomhla we-14 kuFebruwari, ulawulo lukaTrump lwanciphisa irhafu ye-15 ekhulwini kwiimpahla ezingeniswa yi-List 4a ezivela e-China ukuya kwi-7.5 ekhulwini. I-China ikwabuyisele umva ezinye zeerhafu zayo zokuziphindezela.
Ukuphunyezwa kwayo kuya kuba yingxaki enkulu kuba iTshayina inokubambezeleka ekuthengeni iimpahla neenkonzo zase-US, kuquka iimveliso zezolimo, xa kujongwe ubhubhane we-coronavirus. UMongameli uTrump ebenxibelelana noMongameli waseTshayina uXi ukuze aphelise naziphi na iingxaki kwaye wathembisa ukusebenzisana kule ntsholongwane kunye nemiba yorhwebo.
I-Ofisi yoMmeli wezoRhwebo wase-US ikhuphe imiqathango yakutshanje yokukhutshwa kwerhafu echaphazela ishishini lefenitshala, kuquka ezinye izinto zesitulo/isofa kunye nezixhobo zokusika/zokuthunga ezivela eTshayina. Ezi miqathango yokukhutshwa ziyasebenza ukususela nge-24 kaSeptemba, 2018, ukuya kuthi ga nge-7 ka-Agasti, 2020.
INdlu yePalamente yaseMelika ipasise uMthetho woKutsha kweFenitshala eKhuselekileyo (i-SOFFA) phakathi kuDisemba. Okubalulekileyo kukuba, inguqulelo epasisiweyo yamkele izilungiso ezenziwe ngokuqwalaselwa nokuvunywa kweKomiti yoRhwebo yeSenate. Oko kushiya ukuqwalaselwa komgangatho weSenate njengomqobo wokugqibela wokuba i-SOFFA ibe ngumthetho. Sisebenzisana nabasebenzi beSenate ukwandisa abaxhasi kunye nokukhuthaza inkxaso yokubandakanywa kwisithuthi somthetho kamva ngo-2020.
Iinkampani ezingamalungu e-HFA eFlorida bezisoloko zihlaselwa “ziileta zesicelo” ezivela kubamangali abalandelelanayo besithi iiwebhusayithi zabo azihambelani neemfuno zokufikelela phantsi koMthetho waseMelika oKhubazekileyo. ISebe lezoBulungisa lase-US alikafuni ukubonelela ngesikhokelo okanye ukumisela imigangatho karhulumente, eshiya abathengisi befenitshala bekwimeko enzima kakhulu (nebiza kakhulu!) - nokuba basombulule ileta yesicelo okanye balwe netyala enkundleni.
Eli bali lixhaphake kakhulu likhokelele uSen. Marco Rubio, usihlalo weKomiti yamaShishini amaNcinci eSenate, kunye nabasebenzi bakhe ukuba babambe ingqungquthela ngalo mba eOrlando ekwindla ephelileyo. Ilungu le-HFA iWalker Furniture yaseGainesville, eFlorida, labelane ngebali lalo laza lasebenzisana nabanye abachaphazelekayo ukubonelela ngezisombululo ezinokubakho kule ngxaki ikhulayo.
Ngale mizamo, i-HFA isandula ukubamba iingxoxo noLawulo lwamaShishini amaNcinci ukuphakamisa iprofayili yale ngxaki kulawulo lukaTrump.
Iindaba ezinomdla ezivela eAlaska, eArizona, eCalifornia, eFlorida, eIdaho, eMaryland, eMassachusetts, eNew York, eOregon, ePennsylvania, eTennessee, eWashington naseWyoming.
Wonke umthengisi wefenitshala othengisa kwiindlela zikarhulumente uyazi ukuba kunzima kangakanani ukuhlangabezana neembopheleleko zerhafu yokuthengisa kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo.
Indlu yowiso-mthetho yaseArizona iyayiva intlungu yayo. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, ivumile izigqibo ezicela iCongress ukuba "imisele umthetho ofanayo wesizwe ukuze kube lula ukwenza irhafu yokuthengisa okanye ukuqokelelwa kwerhafu efanayo ukunciphisa umthwalo wokuthobela imithetho yerhafu kubathengisi abakude."
I-Kodiak yayilungele ukuba sisixeko samva nje saseAlaska ukufuna abathengisi abangaphandle kwelizwe ukuba baqokelele kwaye bahlawule irhafu yokuthengisa kwizinto ezithengiweyo ngabahlali. Eli lizwe alinarhafu yokuthengisa, kodwa livumela oorhulumente basekuhlaleni ukuba baqokelele irhafu yezinto ezithengiweyo ngaphakathi kwemimandla yabo. I-Alaska Municipal League imisele ikhomishini yokulawula ukuqokelelwa kwerhafu yokuthengisa.
Igqwetha likarhulumente likhuphe "uhlaziyo lwemithetho" kwinyanga ephelileyo malunga nokuthotyelwa koMthetho woBucala baBathengi baseCalifornia. Isikhokelo siquka ingcaciso yokuba ukumisela ukuba ulwazi "lulwazi lomntu siqu" phantsi komthetho kuxhomekeke ekubeni ishishini ligcina ulwazi ngendlela "echaza, enxulumene, echaza, enokukwazi ukunxulumana, okanye enokunxulunyaniswa ngokufanelekileyo, ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo, nomthengi okanye usapho oluthile."
Umzekelo, uJackson Lewis Law ubhala kwiThe National Law Review, “Ukuba ishishini liqokelela iidilesi ze-IP zeendwendwe kwiwebhusayithi yalo kodwa aliqhagamsheli idilesi ye-IP nabathengi okanye ikhaya elithile, kwaye alinakukwazi ukuqhagamshela idilesi ye-IP nomthengi okanye ikhaya elithile, ngoko idilesi ye-IP ayizukuba lulwazi lomntu. Imithetho ecetywayo ibonelela ukuba amashishini awanakukwazi ukusebenzisa ulwazi lomntu 'nangayiphi na injongo ngaphandle kokutyhilwa kwisaziso esiqokelelweyo.' Uhlaziyo luya kuseka umgangatho ongqongqo kakhulu - 'injongo eyahlukileyo kakhulu kuneyo etyhilwe kwisaziso esiqokelelweyo.'”
Umthetho kaSenator Joe Gruters wokuba abathengisi abakwi-intanethi abakude baqokelele irhafu kwintengiso kubemi baseFlorida ufundwe kakuhle kwiKomiti yezeMali kwinyanga ephelileyo. Njengoko ixesha lihamba kwiseshoni yomthetho yangoku, nangona kunjalo, wawusalinde ukuqwalaselwa kwiKomiti yoLwabiwo-mali. Lo mthetho uxhaswa kakhulu ngamalungu e-HFA eFlorida kunye neFlorida Retail Federation. Uza kudala indawo yokudlala elinganayo phakathi kwabathengisi abakwi-intanethi nabathengisa izinto ezithengiswayo, ekufuneka bahlawulise abathengi babo irhafu yokuthengisa karhulumente.
Okunye okusalindileyo ziziphakamiso zokuba abaqeshi bakarhulumente nababucala bathathe inxaxheba kwinkqubo ye-E-Verify karhulumente, eyenzelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba abafuduki abangenazo iimpepha abahlawulwa. Umthetho weSenate uza kusebenza kwiinkampani zabucala ezinabasebenzi abangama-50 ubuncinane, i-Associated Press ibika, ngelixa umthetho weNdlu yoWiso-mthetho uza kukhulula abaqeshi babucala. Imibutho yezoshishino nezolimo ivakalise iinkxalabo malunga nenguqulelo yeSenate.
Umthetho ovunyiweyo yiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho ekupheleni kukaFebruwari uza kuthintela oorhulumente basekuhlaleni ekunyuseni amaxabiso erhafu yepropathi. Abacebisi bathi eli nyathelo liyimfuneko ukubonelela ngoncedo kubahlawuli berhafu, ngelixa oorhulumente basekuhlaleni bephikisana ngokuba liza kuphazamisa amandla abo okubonelela ngeenkonzo.
Umthetho weSenate karhulumente uza kuhlawulisa irhafu kwingeniso yonyaka efunyenwe kwiinkonzo zentengiso zedijithali. Iya kuba yirhafu yokuqala enjalo kweli lizwe. I-Maryland Chamber of Commerce iyakuchasa kakhulu oku: “Eyona nto ixhalabisayo kwi-Chamber kukuba umthwalo wezoqoqosho we-SB 2 ekugqibeleni uza kuthwalwa ngamashishini aseMaryland kunye nabathengi beenkonzo zentengiso ngaphakathi kojongano lwedijithali - kubandakanya iiwebhusayithi kunye nezicelo,” yatsho kwi-Action Alert. “Ngenxa yale rhafu, ababoneleli beenkonzo zentengiso baza kudlulisela iindleko ezonyukileyo kubathengi babo. Oku kuquka amashishini asekuhlaleni aseMaryland asebenzisa amaqonga e-intanethi ukufikelela kubathengi abatsha. Nangona iinjongo ezijoliswe kule rhafu ziinkampani ezinkulu zehlabathi, abemi baseMaryland baya kuvakalelwa kakhulu ngendlela yamaxabiso aphezulu kunye nengeniso ephantsi.”
Umthetho wesibini oxhalabisayo, i-HB 1628, uza kunciphisa izinga lerhafu yokuthengisa likarhulumente ukusuka kwi-6 ekhulwini ukuya kwi-5 ekhulwini kodwa wandise irhafu kwiinkonzo – nto leyo ebangela ukonyuka kwerhafu iyonke ye-$2.6 yezigidigidi, ngokutsho kweMaryland Chamber. Iinkonzo eziphantsi kwerhafu entsha ziza kubandakanya ukuhanjiswa, ukufakwa, iindleko zemali, ingxelo yetyala kunye nazo naziphi na iinkonzo zobungcali.
Abaxhasi bathi yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuhlawulela imfundo kawonke-wonke, kodwa uRhuluneli uLarry Hogan ufungile wathi, “Ayizukwenzeka loo nto ndisengurhuluneli.”
UMthetho weMisebenzi yokuHlola iiRekhodi zoLwaphulo-mthetho eMaryland waqala ukusebenza nge-29 kaFebruwari. Uthintela iinkampani ezinabasebenzi abali-15 nangaphezulu ukuba zibuze ngembali yolwaphulo-mthetho yomfaki-sicelo somsebenzi ngaphambi kodliwano-ndlebe lokuqala ubuso ngobuso. Umqeshi unokubuza ngexesha okanye emva kodliwano-ndlebe.
Ukunyuka kwerhafu okucetywayo kunokuchaphazela abathengisi befenitshala. Phakathi kwezo zinyanzeliswa ziinkokeli kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho kukunyuka kwerhafu yepetroli neyedizili kunye nerhafu ephantsi ephezulu yeenkampani kumashishini aneentengiso zonyaka ezingaphezulu kwe-$1 yezigidi. Ingeniso eyongezelelweyo iya kuhlawula ukuphuculwa kwenkqubo yezothutho yelizwe. Irhafu yepetroli iya kunyuka ukusuka kwi-24 cents ngegaloni ukuya kwi-29 cents phantsi kwesi siphakamiso. Kwidizili, irhafu iya kunyuka ukusuka kwi-24 cents ukuya kwi-33 cents.
URhuluneli uAndrew Cuomo utyelela amazwe apho ukusetyenziswa kwe-marijuana yokuzonwabisa kusemthethweni ukuze afumane eyona modeli ilungileyo eNew York. Iindawo eziya kuzo ziquka iMassachusetts, i-Illinois kunye neColorado okanye iCalifornia. Uthembise ukuba umthetho ovumelayo uza kumiselwa kulo nyaka.
I-KGW8 ibike ukuba amalungu e-senator e-Republican ayeke intlanganiso ukuze angavumi ukuba kubekho inani elifunekayo kwaye angavumeli ukuba kuvotelwe umthetho oza kuthathwa njengongqongqo kwaye urhwebo luqhubeke. “Ama-Democrats ale ukusebenzisana nama-Republican kwaye ale zonke izilungiso eziveziweyo,” batsho kwingxelo. “Nika ingqalelo, Oregon – lo ngumzekelo wokwenyani wezopolitiko ezichaseneyo.”
Urhuluneli weDemokhrasi uKate Brown ubize esi senzo “njengexesha elibuhlungu eOregon,” eqaphela ukuba siza kuthintela ukupasiswa komthetho-sivivinywa wokunceda abantu abasweleyo kunye neminye imithetho.
Lo mthetho uza kufuna ukuba abantu abangcolisa kakhulu bathenge “iikredithi zekhabhoni,” nto leyo enokubangela ukuba amaxabiso aphezulu kwiinkonzo zikawonke-wonke.
AmaDemokhrasi ePalamente akhuphe ii-subpoenas ukunyanzela amaRiphabliki ukuba abuye, kodwa ingaba abenzi bomthetho baxhomekeke kwii-subpoenas kuyaphikiswana nokuba ngaba abameli bomthetho banyanzelekile na.
Umthetho wokwaphulwa kwedatha owaziswa kunyaka ophelileyo ufumene ingqwalasela kwiKomiti yezoRhwebo yeNdlu ekupheleni kukaFebruwari. Uyaphikiswa yiPennsylvania Retailers' Association kuba ubeka umthwalo omkhulu woxanduva kumashishini okuthengisa kunakwiibhanki okanye kwezinye iinkampani ezisingatha ulwazi lwabathengi.
Ixabiso lerhafu yokuthengisa likarhulumente nelengingqi eTennessee liyi-9.53 ekhulwini, elilelona liphezulu kweli lizwe, ngokutsho kwe-Tax Foundation. Kodwa iLouisiana isemva nge-9.52 ekhulwini. I-Arkansas ikwindawo yesithathu ephezulu nge-9.47 ekhulwini. Amazwe amane awanazo iirhafu zentengiso zikarhulumente okanye zasekuhlaleni: iDelaware, iMontana, iNew Hampshire kunye neOregon.
I-Oregon ayinayo irhafu yokuthengisa, kwaye kude kube ngunyaka ophelileyo iphondo laseWashington alizange lifune ukuba abathengisi balo bahlawulise irhafu yokuthengisa kubemi baseOregon abathenga kwiivenkile zaseWashington. Ngoku sele injalo, kwaye abanye ababukeli bathi olu tshintsho luthintela abathengi abaninzi baseOregon ukuba bangawugqibi umgca wephondo.
“UBill Marcus, i-CEO yeKelso Longview Chamber of Commerce, wayechasene notshintsho lomthetho kunyaka ophelileyo,” i-KATU News ibika. “Wayesoyika ukuba kuya kuba kubi kumashishini asemngceleni. Loo loyiko, utsho, luyazaliseka.”
“'Ndithethe namashishini ambalwa, kwaye andixelele ukuba aphantsi ngama-40 ukuya kuma-60 ekhulwini kwishishini lawo laseOregon,' utshilo uMarcum. Abathengisi abachaphazeleka kakhulu, wongezelela ngelithi, bathengisa izinto ezinamaxabiso aphezulu njengefenitshala, izinto zemidlalo kunye nobucwebe.”
Ikhefu Losapho Nelezonyango Elihlawulelwayo liqalile ukusebenza kwiphondo laseWashington. Lisebenza kubo bonke abaqeshi, kwaye abantu abazisebenzelayo banokukhetha ukungena. Ukuze bafaneleke, abasebenzi kufuneka basebenze ubuncinane iiyure ezingama-820 kwikota ezine kwezintlanu ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo sekhefu elihlawulelwayo.
Le nkqubo ixhaswa ngeeprimiyamu ezivela kubasebenzi nakubaqeshi. Nangona kunjalo, iminikelo evela kumashishini anabasebenzi abangaphantsi kwama-50 iyinto yokuzithandela. Kumashishini amakhulu, abaqeshi banoxanduva lwesinye kwisithathu seprimiyamu ekufuneka ihlawulwe - okanye banokukhetha ukuhlawula isabelo esikhulu njengenzuzo kubasebenzi babo.

UMthetho weSizwe wokuBuyiselwa kweRhafu yeeNkampani ocetywayo urhoxisiwe ngo-2020. Lo mthetho ngewawubeke irhafu yengeniso yeenkampani zaseWyoming ye-7% kwiinkampani ezinabaninizabelo abangaphezu kwe-100 abasebenza kweli lizwe, nokuba babekwilizwe elinye.
“Ngokuchasene noko kuthethwa rhoqo, irhafu yenkampani oyijongileyo ayikokudluliselwa nje kwengeniso ukusuka kwelinye ilizwe ukuya kwelinye,” utshilo uSven Larson, umfundi ophezulu kwiWyoming Liberty Group, ebhalela ikomiti yowiso-mthetho. “Kukunyuka okukhulu komthwalo werhafu kwiinkampani. Umzekelo, inkampani enkulu yokuthengisa izindlu eLowe's, ehlala eNorth Carolina apho irhafu yengeniso yenkampani iyi-2.5 ekhulwini, ibiya kujonga ukunyuka okukhulu kweendleko zokusebenza kwilizwe lethu.”
