Izinyunyana zabasebenzi ezinethonya eCalifornia, abaqaphi bakahulumeni kanye nabameli bezemvelo basola ngokuphindaphindiwe izinhlangano ngokuqamba amanga kubavoti emikhankasweni. ukuhlehlisa imithetho yezwe kanye nokubhuntshisa i-ajenda yeDemokhrasi eqhubekayo e-Capitol yezwe.
Manje bahlela ukwenza okuthile ngakho.
Ilungu lePhalamende u-Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles) wethula isiphakamiso kuleli sonto sokuguqula umthetho wokhetho lwezifundazwe ngokwenza kube nzima kakhulu ngemikhankaso yokudukisa abavoti lapho kusakazwa izicelo zokuthi bafanelekele inhlolovo yezwe lonke. Lo mthethosivivinywa uphawula ukungqubuzana kwakamuva kwempi yabameleli phakathi kwabasebenzi namabhizinisi e-Capitol yesifundazwe futhi kungase kube enye yezimpi zezombusazwe ezisezingeni eliphezulu eCalifornia kulo nyaka.
“Kuyinqubo endala kakhulu, futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi inhloso yayo kanye nokusebenza kwayo kwachithwa yizithakazelo ezincane, ezinganeliseki, ezixhaswe kahle, ezinamandla ezivame ukubukela phansi intando yabantu baseCalifornia,” kusho uBryan. .
Umthethosivivinywa Womhlangano wama-421 izosungula ukwengamela okusha kukahulumeni ekuqoqweni kwesiginesha, idinga ukubeka obala okwengeziwe mayelana namaqembu axhasa ngezimali imikhankaso yenhlolovo futhi igunyaze ukuthi okungenani u-10% wamasiginesha ezikhalazo kumele atholwe amavolontiya angakhokhelwa. Umthetho oshanelayo uzosebenzisa imithetho emisha kuma-referendum futhi udlulele emikhankasweni yokusungula efuna ukuchithwa noma ukuchibiyela umthetho wezwe phakathi neminyaka emibili yomthetho uqalile ukusebenza.
I-Service Employees International Union yase-California kanye nabanye abasekeli balo mthethosivivinywa bathi kubalulekile ukulungisa kabusha uhlelo lwenhlolovo lwase-California nenjongo yalo yokusungula kusukela ngo-1911: ukuhlinzeka ngendlela ngentando yeningi eqondile yabavoti ukuze babhekane nethonya lezinkampani eziphethwe uhulumeni wezwe.
Namuhla, izinyunyana kanye namaqembu okumela athuthukayo athatha amandla amaningi phezu kwabenzi bomthetho kunangekhulu leminyaka edlule, futhi amabhizinisi avame ukuzabalaza ukuvikela izintshisekelo zawo e-Capitol yezwe.
Abagqugquzeli balo mthetho bathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uhlelo lwereferendamu seluluncane njengethuluzi labantu baseCalifornia lokuhlola isiShayamthetho sabo futhi esikhundleni salokho nethuba lokuba amabhizinisi acebile amise futhi ahlehlise imithetho yezwe ephasiswe yiqembu elikhulu lamaDemocrats ukubhekana nobumpofu, ukuvikela umphakathi. impilo futhi kuzuze imvelo.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, izinkampani ezenza ugwayi, ezikhiqiza amapulasitiki kanye nezinkampani zamabhondi ebheyili zaqala imikhankaso yezigidi zamaRandi ukuze ziqoqe amasignesha ezikhalazo ukuze zifanelekele izinhlolovo zabavoti ezibekela inselele imithetho elimaza imodeli yebhizinisi labo.
I-California Chamber of Commerce ihlehlisele emuva isidingo sokuguqulwa kwenhlolovo futhi yathi izinkampani azivamile ukwethula imikhankaso ephikisana nemithetho. I-chamber iqhathanise ama-referendum ayishumi nambili lokho ufanelekele ukuvota kule minyaka eyishumi edlule nezinkulungwane zemithetho eshaywe yisiShayamthetho kanye nombusi eCalifornia ngaleso sikhathi esifanayo.
Lelisu, nokho, selimise imithetho emibili emikhulu eqhubekayo kulo nyaka kuze kube ukuvota kukaNovemba 2024.
NgoJanuwari, unobhala wezwe wamemezela ukuthi izinkampani zokudla okusheshayo seziqoqe amasignesha anele ukuphoqa inhlolovo ngomthetho waseCalifornia okuhloswe ngawo ukukhulisa amaholo abasebenzi bezindawo zokudlela. Ngenyanga edlule, izinkampani zikawoyela zifanelekele ukuvota umzamo wokuketula umthetho wokuphepha kwemvelo lokho kuzovala amaphrojekthi amasha okumba eduze kwemizi nezikole.
Umthetho wokuvimba uwoyela owaphasiswa ngo-2022 ngemuva kweminyaka eminingi yokuhlela kanye nemizamo eminingi ebhuntshile esiShayamthetho. Ngokushesha nje, imboni yaqala ukuzama ukudukisa abavoti mayelana nomthetho nokubajikisela ekutheni baphikisane nenqubomgomo ezovikela impilo yemiphakathi entulayo, kusho uMelissa Romero weCalifornia Environmental Voters.
“Lokhu kuwukusebenzisa kabi amandla ngendlela enyanyekayo, futhi kuyisibonelo sendlela izinkampani ezenza ngayo sengathi zingaphezu komthetho ngenxa nje yokuba nemali eyanele yokwenza noma yini eziyifunayo,” kusho uRomero. “Futhi abavoti bayagula.”
Ukuze ucele abavoti ukuthi bahlehlise umthetho wevoti lezwe lonke elilandelayo, abasekeli benhlolovo kufanele bathole amasignesha avela ku- U-5% yenani labavoti okhethweni lokugcina lobugubha. Imikhankaso yezombangazwe ivame ukuqasha amafemu ukuthi asabalalise izicelo futhi akhokhele abantu isiginesha ngayinye eqoqwe. Abaningi abaqoqa amasignesha basuka kwezinye izifundazwe.
Ukunikezwa okubalulekile kwe-AB 421 kungadinga ukuthi amavolontiya angakhokhelwa aqoqe okungenani u-10% wamasiginesha adingekayo ukuze afanelekele inhlolovo ngevoti.
“Ingxenye ebalulekile yentando yeningi yokubamba iqhaza iwukuba kube nabantu abakhathalela ngempela ngokungafani nabantu abakhokhelwayo ukuze baqoqe amasignesha ngezindleko zokusho ukuthi siyini isilinganiso,” kusho uBryan.
Lo mthethosivivinywa uzodinga futhi ukuthi abaqoqi abasayina abakhokhelwayo babhalise noNobhala Wezwe waseCalifornia futhi badalule izilinganiso zokuvota abahlose ukuzethula kubavoti, kusho abasekeli.
Umqoqi ngamunye wesiginesha uzothola inombolo kamazisi ehlukile ezofakwa kuzikhalazo zakhe ngazinye. Lo mthethosivivinywa uzobenza bafake ibheji eliveza inombolo yabo, igama nesithombe, okwenza kube lula kubavoti ukuthi babone labo abahlanekezela izikhalazo zabo.
Unobhala wezwe uzophinde aphathe uhlelo lokuqeqesha oluyisibopho lwabaqoqi abasayina abakhokhelwayo oluhlanganisa imfundo ngemisebenzi enqatshelwe.
“Ukunganeliseki ngabaqoqi abasayina abakhokhelwayo kudala njengentando yeningi ngqo,” kusho uThad Kousser, uprofesa wesayensi yezepolitiki e-UC San Diego.
UKouser uthe izifundazwe zizamile ukuvala nokulawula abaqoqi abasayina abakhokhelwayo kusukela ngo-1913, kodwa izinkantolo ziluvikele lolu hlelo. Ukhulume ngesinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme yase-US sango-1988 esathola ukuthi ukusakazwa kwezikhalazo “kuyinkulumo yezepolitiki ewumnyombo” futhi wabiza ukuqoqwa kwesiginesha ekhokhelwayo “izindlela eziphumelela kakhulu, eziyisisekelo, futhi mhlawumbe ezongayo zokufeza ukuxhumana okuqondile, komuntu nomuntu nabavoti. ”
Izifundazwe eziningi zengeze eyazo imithetho kule nqubo, efana neCalifornia evumela abantu ukuthi babuze ukuthi umqoqi wesiginesha uyakhokhelwa yini. Uthe akakaze abone izifundazwe zizama ukugunyaza ukuthi amavolontiya aqoqe ingxenye ethile yokusayina.
Esinye isikhalo esivamile ukuthi abaqoqi besignesha bamelela kabi imikhankaso yokuxhasa amaqembu. Ukuze kuxazululwe lokho kukhathazeka, umthetho uzodinga ukuthi isikhalazo sidalule ababambiqhaza abathathu abaphezulu emkhankasweni ekhasini lokuqala kanye nesihloko sommeli-jikelele nesifinyezo sesilinganiso. Abasayini bazodingeka ukuthi baqale isitatimende esithi babuyekeze abaxhasi bezimali abaphezulu.
Abasekeli balindele ukuphikiswa okuvela ezinkampanini zikawoyela kanye nezinye izithakazelo zebhizinisi elinemali e-Capitol yezwe. Yize lo mthetho uzoshintsha inqubo yereferendamu, bathi lesi siphakamiso ngeke siyiswe kubavoti ngoba asiwushintshi uMthethosisekelo wezwe.
“Sizoba nokuphikiswa okukhulu kakhulu, kodwa ngithemba ukuthi isiShayamthetho sizovumelana nathi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokubuyisela intando yeningi emuva,” kusho uTia Orr, umqondisi omkhulu we-SEIU California.
