Ngaphambi kokuba noma ubani ezwe nge-coronavirus entsha ebangela lesi sifo manje esibizwa ngokuthi i-COVID-19, uTerri Johnson wayenecebo. Wonke amabhizinisi kufanele, kusho uJohnson, umqondisi wezempilo nokuphepha emsebenzini we-WS Badcock Corp. eMulberry, eFla.
“Kusobala ukuthi kufanele sihlele okubi kakhulu futhi sithembe okuhle kakhulu,” kusho uJohnson, umhlengikazi wezempilo oqeqeshiwe osebenzele ilungu le-Home Furnishings Association iBadcock iminyaka engama-30. Leli gciwane, uma liqhubeka nokusabalala, lingase libe ngenye yezinselele ezinkulu abhekane nazo ngaleso sikhathi.
Lesi sifo, esaqala esifundazweni saseHubei eShayina, sanciphisa ukukhiqiza kanye nezokuthutha kulelo zwe, saphazamisa uchungechunge lokuphakelwa komhlaba wonke. Ngenyanga edlule, umagazini i-Fortune uxhumane ne-HFA ufuna umbono wefenisha yokuthengisa ngomthelela. Isihloko sawo sasinesihloko esithi, “Njengoba i-coronavirus isakazeka, ngisho nabathengisi befenisha e-US sebeqala ukuzwa umthelela.”
“Sizophelelwa yimikhiqizo ethile — kodwa uma iqhubeka, ngemva kwesikhashana kuzodingeka uthole imikhiqizo kwenye indawo,” kusho uJesús Capó. UCapó, iphini likamongameli kanye nesikhulu solwazi esiyinhloko se-El Dorado Furniture eMiami, ungumongameli we-HFA.
“Sine-buffer yokubhekana nezimo ezingalindelekile, kodwa uma siqhubeka nokubona ukubambezeleka, kungenzeka singabi namasheya anele noma sidinge ukuthola izinto ngaphakathi ezweni,” kusho uJameson Dion etshela iFortune. Ungusekela mongameli wezokuthengwa kwezimpahla emhlabeni wonke eCity Furniture eTamarac, eFla. “Silindele umthelela omkhulu ebhizinisini, asazi ukuthi kubi kangakanani.”
Imiphumela engaba khona ingaziveza nangezinye izindlela. Nakuba ukudluliswa kwegciwane e-US kunqunyelwe ngaphandle kwezindawo ezimbalwa, futhi usongo kubantu abaningi lusephansi, izikhulu ze-Centers for Disease Control and Infection zibikezela ukuqubuka okukhulu lapha.
“Kuyamangaza ukuthi lesi sifo sisakazeke ngokushesha kangakanani nokuthi kungakanani okwenzekile selokhu iShayina yabika amacala esifo esisha ekupheleni kukaDisemba,” kusho uDkt. Nancy Messonnier, umqondisi weNational Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases e-CDC, ngoFebhuwari 28. Wayekhuluma nabameleli bebhizinisi ocingweni olwaluhlelwe yiNational Retail Federation.
Usongo lokusabalala komphakathi lungaholela ekukhanselweni kwemicimbi emikhulu yomphakathi. I-High Point Market Authority ithe iqapha intuthuko kodwa isahlela ukusebenzisa imakethe yasentwasahlobo kusukela ngo-Ephreli 25-29. Kodwa leso sinqumo singase senziwe nangumbusi waseNorth Carolina, uRoy Cooper, onegunya lokumisa imicimbi ngenxa yezizathu zempilo yomphakathi. Kubonakala sengathi kakade inani labantu abazoba khona lizoba lincane, kokubili ngenxa yemikhawulo yokuhamba kwamanye amazwe kanye nokukhathazeka ngaphakathi e-US.
UFord Porter, iphini lomqondisi wezokuxhumana kuMbusi uCooper, ukhiphe isitatimende ngoFebhuwari 28: “Imakethe yefenisha yaseHigh Point inenani elikhulu kwezomnotho esifundeni nakuhulumeni wonke. Akukho nhloso yokuyikhansela. Iqembu elisebenzayo likahulumeni we-coronavirus lizoqhubeka nokugxila ekuvimbeleni nasekulungiseleleni, futhi sinxusa bonke abantu baseNyakatho Carolinian ukuba benze okufanayo.
"UMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu kanye Nokuphathwa Kwezimo Eziphuthumayo uqapha ngokucophelela i-coronavirus futhi usebenzisana nabantu baseNorth Carolina ukuvimbela nokulungiselela amacala angaba khona. Uma kwenzeka noma yisiphi isimo esiphuthumayo, isinqumo sokuthinta umcimbi eNorth Carolina sizokwenziwa ngokubambisana nezikhulu zezempilo kanye nokuphepha komphakathi kanye nabaholi bendawo. Okwamanje asikho isizathu sokuthinta imicimbi ehleliwe esifundazweni, futhi abantu baseNorth Carolina kufanele baqhubeke nokulalela izikhulu ze-DHHS kanye nezokuPhathwa Kwezimo Eziphuthumayo ukuze bathole izibuyekezo kanye nesiqondiso."
Umbukiso wefenisha weSalone del Mobile eMilan, e-Italy, uhlehlise umbukiso wawo ka-Ephreli kuze kube uJuni, kodwa “asikabi khona kuleli lizwe okwamanje,” kusho uDkt. Lisa Koonin, umsunguli we-Health Preparedness Partners LLC, ocingweni lwe-CDC lwangoFebhuwari 28. “Kodwa ngingathi hlalani nilindile, ngoba ukuhlehlisa imibuthano emikhulu kuyindlela yokuqhelelana nabantu, futhi kungaba yithuluzi izikhulu zezempilo zomphakathi ezingalincoma uma sibona ubhubhane olukhulu.”
UJohnson kaBadcock akakwazi ukwenza lutho ngalokho, kodwa angathatha izinyathelo zokuvikela abasebenzi namakhasimende enkampani yakhe. Abanye abathengisi kufanele bacabangele izinyathelo ezifanayo.
Okokuqala ukunikeza ulwazi oluhle. Amakhasimende asevele ebuza ukuthi angangenwa yini yizinto ezithunyelwe zivela eShayina, kusho uJohnson. Ulungiselele imemo yabaphathi bezitolo ethi abukho ubufakazi bokuthi leli gciwane lidluliselwe kubantu lisuka ezimpahleni ezingenisiwe. Lokho kuyingozi ephansi, uma kubhekwa ukusinda okubi kwamagciwane anjalo ezindaweni ezahlukene, ikakhulukazi lapho imikhiqizo ithunyelwa isikhathi sezinsuku eziningi noma amasonto emazingeni okushisa aphansi.
Ngenxa yokuthi indlela engenzeka kakhulu yokudlulisela lesi sifo iwukusebenzisa amaconsi okuphefumula kanye nokuxhumana komuntu nomuntu, le memo yeluleka abaphathi bezitolo ukuthi balandele izinyathelo ezifanayo zokuvimbela abangazisebenzisa ukunciphisa ukuchayeka ezifweni zomkhuhlane noma zokuphefumula: ukugeza izandla, ukumboza ukukhwehlela nokuthimula, ukusula amakhawunta nezinye izindawo kanye nokuthumela abasebenzi ababonakala begula ekhaya.
Iphuzu lokugcina libaluleke kakhulu, kugcizelela uJohnson. “Abaphathi kufanele baqaphele futhi bazi ukuthi yini okufanele bayibheke,” kusho yena. Izimpawu zisobala: ukukhwehlela, ukuminyana, ukuphelelwa umoya. Abasebenzi abangaba ngu-500 basebenza ehhovisi elikhulu likaBadcock eMulberry, futhi uJohnson ufuna ukubona nokuhlola noma yimuphi umsebenzi onalezo zimpawu. Izinyathelo ezingase zithathwe zihlanganisa ukumthumela ekhaya noma, uma
kuvunyelwe, emnyangweni wezempilo wendawo ukuze uhlolwe. Abasebenzi kufanele bahlale emakhaya uma bengazizwa kahle. Banelungelo lokuya emakhaya uma becabanga ukuthi impilo yabo isengozini emsebenzini - futhi abanakujeziswa uma bekwenza lokho, kusho uJohnson.
Ukusebenzelana namakhasimende abonisa izimpawu kuyisiphakamiso esinzima. UDkt. Koonin uphakamise ukuthi kubekwe izimpawu ezicela abantu abagulayo ukuthi bangangeni esitolo. Kodwa iziqinisekiso kumele zihambisane nazo zombili. “Lungela ukuphendula lapho amakhasimende ekhathazeka noma edinga ulwazi,” kusho yena. “Kudingeka bazi ukuthi ukhipha abasebenzi abagulayo endaweni yakho yokusebenza ukuze bazizwe beqiniseka ukuthi bazongena.”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, “Okwamanje yisikhathi esihle sokucabanga ngezindlela ezihlukile zokuletha izimpahla nezinsizakalo kumakhasimende,” kusho uKoonin. “Siphila esikhathini esimangalisayo lapho kungeyona yonke into okumele yenziwe ubuso nobuso. Cabanga ngezindlela zokunciphisa ukuxhumana okuseduze phakathi kwabasebenzi namakhasimende.”
Lokho akusho ukuthi lezo zinyathelo ziyadingeka manje, kodwa amabhizinisi kufanele abe nezinhlelo zokuthi azosebenza kanjani lapho kubhekene nobhubhane olukhulu.
“Kubalulekile ukuthi ucabange ngendlela yokuqapha nokusabela emazingeni aphezulu okungabikho emsebenzini,” kusho uKoonin. “Asazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngokulandelayo, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi inani elikhulu labantu lizogula, noma ngabe iningi labo lizogula kancane. Khona-ke kungadingeka sihlale kude nabasebenzi, futhi lokho kungathinta ukusebenza kwakho.”
Uma abasebenzi bebonisa izimpawu ezihambisana ne-COVID-19, “kudingeka bahlale ngaphandle kwendawo yokusebenza,” kusho uKoonin. “Ukuze wenze lokho, udinga ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinqubomgomo zakho zekhefu lokugula ziyaguquguquka futhi ziyahambisana nesiqondiso sezempilo yomphakathi. Manje, akuwona wonke amabhizinisi anenqubomgomo yekhefu lokugula yabo bonke abasebenzi bawo, ngakho-ke ungase ucabangele ukwakha izinqubomgomo ezithile zekhefu lokugula eziphuthumayo uma kwenzeka udinga ukuzisebenzisa.”
KwaBadcock, uJohnson uqoqe uhlu lokukhathazeka ngabasebenzi ngokusekelwe emisebenzini noma emisebenzini yabo. Phezulu yilabo abahamba amazwe ngamazwe. Uhambo oluya eVietnam lwakhanselwa emasontweni ambalwa edlule, kusho yena.
Okulandelayo abashayeli abanemizila emide edabula izifundazwe zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga lapho iBadcock isebenza khona amakhulu ezitolo. Bese kuba abahloli bamabhuku, abasebenzi bokulungisa kanye nabanye abahamba nabo ezitolo eziningi. Abashayeli bokulethwa bendawo baphansi kancane ohlwini, yize umsebenzi wabo ungaba bucayi ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwesifo. Impilo yalaba basebenzi izoqashwa, futhi kunezinhlelo zokwenza umsebenzi wabo uma begula. Ezinye izimo zifaka phakathi ukusebenzisa amashifu ahlukene kanye nokuthutha abasebenzi abanempilo besuka kwenye indawo baye kwenye. Izimpahla zamaski zizotholakala uma kudingeka - amaski okuphefumula e-N95 avikela ngempela kunemaski angasebenzi abanye abathengisi abawathengisayo, kusho uJohnson. (Kodwa-ke, ochwepheshe bezempilo bagcizelela ukuthi asikho isidingo sokuba abantu abaningi bagqoke amaski ngalesi sikhathi.)
Okwamanje, uJohnson uyaqhubeka nokuqapha intuthuko yakamuva futhi abonisane nezikhulu zezempilo zendawo - okuyiseluleko kanye esinikezwa yizikhulu ze-CDC.
Abantu abane kwabayi-10 abaphendule ocwaningweni lwe-NRF olwakhishwa ngoMashi 5 bathi izintambo zabo zokuhlinzeka ziphazanyiswe yimiphumela ye-coronavirus. Abanye abangamaphesenti angama-26 bathi balindele ukuphazamiseka.
Iningi labaphendulile libonise ukuthi linezinqubomgomo ezikhona zokubhekana nokuvalwa okungenzeka noma ukungabikho kwabasebenzi isikhathi eside.
Izinkinga zochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla ezitholwe ngabahlanganyeli benhlolovo zazihlanganisa ukubambezeleka kwemikhiqizo nezingxenye eziqediwe, ukushoda kwabasebenzi emafektri, ukubambezeleka kokuthunyelwa kwamakhonteyina kanye nokufakwa okuncane kwamaphakheji okwenziwe eShayina.
"Sinikeze izinsiza zokwandisa amafektri futhi safaka ama-oda kusenesikhathi ukuze sigweme noma yikuphi ukubambezeleka okungaphansi kwamandla ethu."
"Sifuna ngenkani imithombo emisha yomhlaba wonke yokusebenza eYurophu, esifundeni sasePacific kanye nase-Continental US"
"Ukuhlela ukuthenga okwengeziwe kwezinto esingafuni ukuzithengisa ngokuphelele, nokuqala ukucabangela izinketho zokulethwa uma ithrafikhi yezinyawo incipha."
Umncintiswano wobumongameli beDemocratic usuqala ukuhlangana futhi uthole ukukhanga. OwayenguMeya uPete Buttigieg kanye noSen. Amy Klobuchar baqede imikhankaso yabo futhi basekela owayenguSekela Mongameli uJoe Biden ngaphambi kweSuper Tuesday.
Ngemuva kokwenza kwakhe kabi kwiSuper Tuesday, owayeyiMeya yaseNew York City uMichael Bloomberg naye washiya isikhundla sakhe wabe esesekela uBiden. Owalandela kwaba yiSen. Elizabeth Warren, eshiya ingxabano phakathi kukaBiden noSanders.
Ukukhathazeka okusabalele kanye nokwesaba mayelana ne-coronavirus kuthinte uhulumeni kaTrump kanye neCongress njengoba besebenzisana ukuze badlulise isinyathelo sokuxhaswa ngemali esiphuthumayo sokubhekana nenkinga yezempilo. Uhulumeni uhlanganyele ngqo nomphakathi webhizinisi ukukhuthaza imikhuba egcina abasebenzi namakhasimende bephephile. Lolu daba lubangele ukungahambi kahle kwezomnotho kwesikhashana e-US futhi lwathola ukunakwa okusheshayo yi-White House.
UMongameli uTrump uqoke uDkt. Nancy Beck, umsizi womphathi e-Environmental Protection Agency, ukuba abe ngusihlalo we-Consumer Products Safety Commission. UBeck unesizinda kuhulumeni wobumbano futhi njengelungu labasebenzi be-American Chemistry Council. Imboni yefenisha ike yasebenzisana noBeck ngaphambilini ekwenzeni imithetho yokukhishwa kwe-formaldehyde e-EPA.
Izinkinga ezihlobene nokwehliswa kwefenisha ziye zagqanyiswa emasontweni amuva nje lapho izexwayiso zomkhiqizo zivela ngqo ku-CPSC mayelana namayunithi okugcina izingubo angazinzile. Lokhu kwenzeka ngenxa yokwakhiwa kwemithetho okuqhubekayo. Silindele ulwazi olwengeziwe ngalokho maduze.
NgoJanuwari 27, i-EPA ithole i-formaldehyde njengenye yamakhemikhali ayo angu-20 “abaluleke kakhulu” okuhlolwa kwengozi ngaphansi koMthetho Wokulawula Izinto Ezinobuthi. Lokhu kuqala inqubo yokuthi abakhiqizi nabangenisi bamakhemikhali babelane ngengxenye yezindleko zokuhlolwa kwengozi, okungamaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-1.35. Imali ibalwa ngesisekelo somuntu ngamunye esinqunywe uhlu lwezinkampani i-EPA ezozishicilela. Abakhiqizi befenisha nabathengisi, kwezinye izimo, bangenisa i-formaldehyde njengengxenye yemikhiqizo yokhuni ehlanganisiwe. Uhlu lokuqala oluvela ku-EPA aluzange lufake noma yibaphi abakhiqizi befenisha noma abathengisi, kodwa amagama omthetho we-EPA azodinga ukuthi lezo zinkampani ziziveze nge-portal ye-EPA. Uhlu lokuqala lwaluqukethe izinkampani noma okufakiwe okuhlukile okungaba ngu-525.
Inhloso ye-EPA kwakuwukubamba izinkampani ezikhiqiza futhi zingenise i-formaldehyde, kodwa i-EPA ihlola izinketho zokusiza lezo zimboni okungenzeka ukuthi zilethwe ngokungahlosile kulokhu. I-EPA yandise isikhathi sokuphawula komphakathi kuze kube ngu-Ephreli 27. Sizoqhubeka nokuzibophezela ukwazisa amalungu nganoma yiziphi izinyathelo ezilandelayo ezingase zilandelwe.
Ukuqaliswa kwesivumelwano sokuhwebelana seSigaba Sokuqala phakathi kwe-US ne-China kuqhubekele phambili naphezu kokubambezeleka okubangelwa yimithelela ye-coronavirus e-China nase-US. NgoFebhuwari 14, uhulumeni kaTrump wehlise intela yamaphesenti ayi-15 ekungenisweni kwe-List 4a evela e-China yaya kumaphesenti angu-7.5. I-China iphinde yahlehlisa ezinye zentela zayo zokuziphindiselela.
Ukuqaliswa kwebhizinisi okuyinkimbinkimbi kuzoba ukubambezeleka okungenzeka yiShayina ekuthengeni izimpahla nezinsizakalo zase-US, okuhlanganisa nemikhiqizo yezolimo, ngenxa yokuqubuka kwe-coronavirus. UMongameli uTrump ubelokhu exhumana noMengameli waseShayina uXi ukuze anciphise noma yikuphi ukukhathazeka futhi ethembisa ukusebenzisana ngegciwane kanye nezindaba zokuhweba.
Ihhovisi Lommeli Wezohwebo wase-US likhiphe imikhawulo yamuva nje yentela ethinta imboni yefenisha, okuhlanganisa ezinye izingxenye zesihlalo/isofa kanye nama-cut/sew kit angeniswe evela eShayina. Lokhu kukhishwa kusetshenziswa emuva futhi kusebenza kusukela mhla zingama-24 kuMandulo 2018, kuya kumhla zingama-7 kuNcwaba 2020.
INdlu Yesishayamthetho yase-US yaphasisa uMthetho Wokusha Kwefenisha Ephephile (i-SOFFA) maphakathi noDisemba. Okubaluleke kakhulu, inguqulo eyaphasiswa yamukela izichibiyelo ezenziwe ngokucatshangelwa nokuvunyelwa yiKomidi Lezentengiselwano leSenate. Lokho kushiya ukucatshangelwa kwesigaba seSenate njengesithiyo sokugcina sokuba i-SOFFA ibe ngumthetho. Sisebenzisana nabasebenzi beSenate ukwandisa abaxhasi kanye nokukhuthaza ukwesekwa kokufakwa esimisweni somthetho kamuva ngo-2020.
Izinkampani ezingamalungu e-HFA eFlorida bezilokhu ziyizisulu “zezincwadi zokufuna” ezivela kubamangali abalandelanayo abathi amawebhusayithi abo awahambisani nezimfuneko zokufinyeleleka ngaphansi koMthetho WaseMelika Okhubazekile. UMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US wenqabile ukunikeza isiqondiso noma ukubeka izindinganiso zikahulumeni, okushiya abathengisi befenisha besesimweni esinzima kakhulu (futhi esibizayo!) - kungaba ukuxazulula incwadi yokufuna noma ukulwa necala enkantolo.
Le ndaba evame kakhulu yaholela uSen. Marco Rubio, usihlalo weKomidi Lebhizinisi Elincane LeSenate, kanye nabasebenzi bakhe ukuthi babambe izingxoxo ngalolu daba e-Orlando ekwindla edlule. Ilungu le-HFA iWalker Furniture laseGainesville, eFlorida, labelane ngendaba yalo futhi lasebenzisana nabanye abathintekayo ukuhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezingaba khona kule nkinga ekhulayo.
Ngale mizamo, i-HFA isanda kuba nezingxoxo ne-Small Business Administration ukuze kuphakanyiswe idumela lale nkinga ngaphakathi kohulumeni kaTrump.
Izindaba ezithakazelisayo ezivela e-Alaska, e-Arizona, eCalifornia, eFlorida, e-Idaho, eMaryland, eMassachusetts, eNew York, e-Oregon, ePennsylvania, eTennessee, eWashington nase-Wyoming.
Wonke umthengisi wefenisha othengisa kuzo zonke izifundazwe uyazi ukuthi kunzima kangakanani ukuhlangabezana nezibopho zentela yokuthengisa ezindaweni eziningi.
Isishayamthetho sase-Arizona siyakuzwa ubuhlungu baso. Ngenyanga edlule, sagunyaza izinqumo ezicela iCongress ukuthi "imise umthetho kazwelonke ofanayo ukuze kube lula ukwenza intela yokuthengisa noma ukuqoqwa kwentela okufanayo ukuze kuncishiswe umthwalo wokuthobela imithetho yentela kubathengisi abakude."
I-Kodiak yayilungele ukuba yidolobha lakamuva lase-Alaska ukufuna abathengisi bangaphandle kwesifundazwe ukuthi baqoqe futhi bakhokhe intela yokuthengisa ekuthengweni okwenziwe yizakhamuzi. Isifundazwe asinayo intela yokuthengisa, kodwa sivumela ohulumeni basekhaya ukuthi baqoqe intela ekuthengweni okwenziwe ngaphakathi kwezindawo zabo. I-Alaska Municipal League isungule ikhomishini yokuphatha ukuqoqwa kwentela yokuthengisa.
Ummeli jikelele wombuso ukhiphe "isibuyekezo somthetho" ngenyanga edlule mayelana nokuhambisana noMthetho Wobumfihlo Babathengi baseCalifornia. Isiqondiso sihlanganisa ukucaciswa kokuthi ukunquma ukuthi ulwazi "luwulwazi lomuntu siqu" ngaphansi komthetho kuncike ekutheni ibhizinisi ligcina ulwazi ngendlela "ekhomba, ehlobene, echaza, ekwaziyo ukuhlanganiswa, noma engaxhunyaniswa ngokufanele, ngokuqondile noma ngokungaqondile, nomthengi othile noma umndeni."
Isibonelo, uJackson Lewis Law ubhala ku-The National Law Review, “Uma ibhizinisi liqoqa amakheli e-IP ezivakashi kwiwebhusayithi yalo kodwa lingaxhumanisi ikheli le-IP nanoma yimuphi umthengi noma umndeni othile, futhi lingakwazi ukuxhumanisa ikheli le-IP nomthengi noma umndeni othile, ikheli le-IP ngeke libe ulwazi lomuntu siqu. Imithetho ehlongozwayo ihlinzeke ngokuthi amabhizinisi awakwazi ukusebenzisa ulwazi lomuntu siqu 'nganoma iyiphi injongo ngaphandle kokudalulwa esazisweni esiqoqweni.' Lokhu kubuyekezwa kuzosungula indinganiso engaqinile kangako - 'inhloso ehluke kakhulu kunedalulwe esazisweni esiqoqweni.'”
Umthethosivivinywa kaSen. Joe Gruters wokudinga abathengisi abaku-inthanethi abakude ukuthi baqoqe intela ekuthengisweni kwezakhamuzi zaseFlorida uthole ukufundwa okuhle eKomidini Lezezimali ngenyanga edlule. Njengoba isikhathi siphela esimisweni samanje sesishayamthetho, nokho, wawusalinde ukucatshangelwa eKomidini Lokwabiwa Kwezimali. Lesi sinyathelo sisekelwa kakhulu ngamalungu e-HFA eFlorida kanye ne-Florida Retail Federation. Sizodala inkundla yokudlala elinganayo phakathi kwabathengisi abaku-inthanethi nabathengisa ngodaka, okumele bakhokhise amakhasimende abo intela yokuthengisa kahulumeni.
Okunye okusalindile yiziphakamiso zokuthi abaqashi bakahulumeni nabazimele bahlanganyele ohlelweni lwe-E-Verify lukahulumeni, oluhloselwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abokufika abangenawo amaphepha abakhokhelwa. Umthethosivivinywa weSenate uzosebenza ezinkampanini ezizimele ezinezisebenzi okungenani ezingu-50, kubika i-Associated Press, kanti umthethosivivinywa weNdlu uzokhulula abaqashi abazimele. Izinhlangano zebhizinisi nezolimo ziveze ukukhathazeka ngenguqulo yeSenate.
Umthethosivivinywa owavunyelwa yiNdlu yoMbuso ngasekupheleni kukaFebhuwari uzovimbela ohulumeni bendawo ekunyuseni amazinga entela yempahla. Abasekeli bathi lesi sinyathelo siyadingeka ukuze kuhlinzekwe impumuzo kubakhokhi bentela, kuyilapho ohulumeni bendawo bephikisana ngokuthi sizophazamisa ikhono labo lokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo.
Umthethosivivinywa weSenate kahulumeni uzobeka intela emalini engenayo yonyaka etholakala ezinsizeni zokukhangisa zedijithali. Kuzoba yintela yokuqala enjalo ezweni. I-Maryland Chamber of Commerce iphikisa ngokuqinile: “Okukhathaza kakhulu i-Chamber ukuthi umthwalo wezomnotho we-SB 2 uzogcina uthwalwe amabhizinisi aseMaryland nabathengi bezinsizakalo zokukhangisa ngaphakathi kwesixhumi esibonakalayo sedijithali - kufaka phakathi amawebhusayithi nezinhlelo zokusebenza,” kusho i-Action Alert. “Ngenxa yale ntela, abahlinzeki bezinsizakalo zokukhangisa bazodlulisela izindleko ezengeziwe kumakhasimende abo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi amabhizinisi endawo aseMaryland asebenzisa amapulatifomu aku-inthanethi ukufinyelela amakhasimende amasha. Nakuba izinhloso ezihlosiwe zale ntela kuyizinkampani ezinkulu zomhlaba wonke, abantu baseMaryland bazozizwa kakhulu ngesimo samanani aphezulu kanye nemali engenayo ephansi.”
Umthethosivivinywa wesibili okhathazayo, i-HB 1628, uzokwehlisa izinga lentela yokuthengisa likahulumeni lisuka kumaphesenti angu-6 liye kumaphesenti angu-5 kodwa wandise intela iye ezinsizeni - okuholela ekukhuleni kwentela iyonke okungu-$2.6 billion, ngokusho kweMaryland Chamber. Izinsizakalo ezingaphansi kwentela entsha zizofaka phakathi ukulethwa, ukufakwa, izindleko zezimali, ukubika ngesikweletu kanye nanoma yiziphi izinsizakalo zobungcweti.
Abasekeli bathi kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokukhokhela imfundo yomphakathi, kodwa uMbusi uLarry Hogan ufungile ukuthi, “Ngeke kwenzeke lokhu ngisengumbusi.”
Umthetho Wemikhuba Yokuhlola Amarekhodi Obugebengu waseMaryland waqala ukusebenza ngoFebhuwari 29. Uvimbela izinkampani ezinezisebenzi ezingu-15 noma ngaphezulu ukuthi zibuze ngomlando wobugebengu womfakisicelo womsebenzi ngaphambi kwengxoxo yokuqala mathupha. Umqashi angabuza ngesikhathi noma ngemva kwengxoxo.
Ukwenyuka kwentela okuhlongozwayo kungathinta abathengisi befenisha. Phakathi kwalabo abacindezelwa abaholi eNdlu Yesifundazwe kukhona ukwenyuka kwentela kaphethiloli kanye nedizili kanye nentela yezinkampani ephansi ephezulu emabhizinisini anezintengo zonyaka ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-$1. Imali engenayo eyengeziwe izokhokhela ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lwezokuthutha lukahulumeni. Intela kaphethiloli izokwenyuka isuka kumasenti angu-24 ngegaloni iye kumasenti angu-29 ngaphansi kwesiphakamiso. Kudizili, intela izokwenyuka isuka kumasenti angu-24 iye kumasenti angu-33.
UMbusi u-Andrew Cuomo uvakashela izifundazwe lapho ukusetshenziswa kwensangu yokuzijabulisa kusemthethweni khona ukuthola imodeli engcono kakhulu eNew York. Izindawo ongazivakashela zifaka phakathi iMassachusetts, i-Illinois kanye neColorado noma iCalifornia. Uthembise ukuthi kuzobekwa umthetho ovumelayo kulo nyaka.
AmaSenator esifundazwe samaRiphabhulikhi ayeke umhlangano wesifunda ukuze enqabe inani eliphelele futhi avimbele ukuvotelwa komthethosivivinywa wokunciphisa nokuhweba, kubika i-KGW8. “AmaDemokhrasi enqabile ukusebenzisana namaRiphabhulikhi futhi enqabe zonke izichibiyelo ezethulwe,” basho esitatimendeni. “Lalela, Oregon – lesi yisibonelo sangempela sezombusazwe ezisekela uhlangothi.”
UMbusi weDemocratic Party uKate Brown ubize lesi senzo ngokuthi “isikhathi esidabukisayo e-Oregon,” ephawula ukuthi sizovimbela ukwamukelwa komthethosivivinywa wokusiza abantu ngenxa yezikhukhula kanye neminye imithetho.
Lo mthethosivivinywa uzodinga abangcolisi abakhulu ukuthi bathenge "amakhredithi e-carbon," okungase kuholele emananini aphezulu ezinsizakalweni zikagesi.
AmaDemocrats esiShayamthetho akhiphe amasamanisi okuphoqelela amaRiphabliki ukuthi abuye, kodwa ukuthi abenzi bomthetho baboshwe yilamasamanisi kuyaphikiswana yini.
Umthethosivivinywa wokwephulwa kwedatha owethulwe ngonyaka odlule waqulwa yiKomidi Lezentengiselwano Lendlu ngasekupheleni kukaFebhuwari. Uyaphikiswa yi-Pennsylvania Retailers' Association ngoba ubeka umthwalo omkhulu wemfanelo emabhizinisini okuthengisa kunasemabhange noma kwezinye izinhlangano ezisingatha ulwazi lwabathengi.

Kodwa iLouisiana ingemuva ngamaphesenti angu-9.52. I-Arkansas ingeyesithathu ngobukhulu ngamaphesenti angu-9.47. Izifundazwe ezine azinazo izintela zokuthengisa zesifundazwe noma zendawo: iDelaware, iMontana, iNew Hampshire kanye ne-Oregon.
I-Oregon ayinayo intela yokuthengisa, futhi kuze kube ngonyaka odlule isifundazwe saseWashington sasingadingi ukuthi abathengisi baso bakhokhise intela yokuthengisa kubantu base-Oregon abathenga ezitolo zaseWashington. Manje isikhona, futhi abanye ababukeli bathi lolu shintsho luvimbela amakhasimende amaningi ase-Oregon ukuthi aweqe umngcele wesifundazwe.

Ikhefu Lomndeni Nelezokwelapha Elikhokhelwayo seliqalile ukusebenza esifundazweni saseWashington. Lisebenza kubo bonke abaqashi, futhi abantu abazisebenzayo bangakhetha ukungena. Ukuze bafaneleke, abasebenzi kumele basebenze okungenani amahora angu-820 kumakota amane kwayisihlanu ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo sekhefu elikhokhelwayo.
Lolu hlelo luxhaswa ngemali ekhokhwayo evela kubasebenzi nabaqashi. Kodwa-ke, iminikelo evela kumabhizinisi anabasebenzi abangaphansi kuka-50 iwukuzithandela. Kumabhizinisi amakhulu, abaqashi banesibopho sengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zamaprimiyamu akhokhwayo - noma bangakhetha ukukhokha isabelo esikhulu njengenzuzo yabasebenzi babo. Ukuze uthole imininingwane, bheka ikhasi lewebhu le-Paid Leave likahulumeni lapha.
