USenator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Ilungu Elisesikhundleni Sekomidi Lezentengiselwano Lezentengiselwano Lezokuphepha, namuhla uthumele incwadi Ukuphathwa Kwezokuphepha Kwezokuthutha (TSA) ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwakhe ngezinguquko zakamuva zoHlelo Lwamalungu Eqembu Olwaziwa (KCM).
I-KCM ixhumanisa imininingo egciniwe yezisebenzi zendiza nezinhlelo ze-TSA ukuze kuvunyelwe izikhulu zezokuphepha ze-TSA ukuthi ziqinisekise ubunikazi nesimo sokuqashwa sabasebenzi. Uhlelo Oluyaziwa Lwelungu Leqembu Bese luvumela i-TSA ukuthi isheshise ukuhlolwa kokuphepha kwesikhumulo sezindiza kwabasebenzi abaqinisekisiwe, okunciphisa inani labantu emigqeni yokuhlola abagibeli kuyilapho kuvikela ukuphepha kwendiza ezinsongweni ezingaba khona zangaphakathi.
Muva nje, i-TSA icabange ukuvala i-KCM, ngaphambi kokuthi yenze izinguquko eziphuthumayo neziphazamisayo ezidingweni zokusheshisa ukuhlolwa kwabasebenzi. Ngeshwa, i-TSA imemezele lezi zidingo ezintsha ngaphandle kokubonisana noma ukunikeza isaziso kusenesikhathi kubabambiqhaza abafanelekile, okuhlanganisa abashayeli bezindiza kanye nabasebenzi basendizeni. Le nqubo ibangele ukungaqiniseki okusabalele phakathi kwabasebenzi bezisebenzi ezweni lonke.
"Nakuba izinqumo ezisheshayo kumele zithathwe ngesinye isikhathi kucatshangelwa izinsongo ezithile zokuphepha kwezindiza, ngikholwa ukuthi i-TSA kumele ixhumane nabo bonke ababambiqhaza abathintekayo noma nini lapho kungenzeka ngaphambi kokuthatha lolu hlobo lwesenzo," kubhala uSenator Markey encwadini yakhe ayibhalela uMphathi we-TSA uDavid P. Pekoske. “Abashayeli bezindiza, abasebenzi basendizeni, nabanye abasebenzi banikeza umbono obaluleke kakhulu ngokuvikeleka kwezindiza. Lezi zisebenzi zingamehlo ethu esibhakabhakeni futhi zihamba phambili kwezokuvikela nokuphepha kwezindiza. Ngiyakunxusa ukuthi uzibophezele ekubonisaneni ngokuqhubekayo nokwazisa le miphakathi nganoma yiziphi izinguquko zesikhathi esizayo ku-KCM noma izinhlelo ezihlobene.”
