UHeathrow ukhawulezisa ukuzibophelela koMvuzo wokuPhila ngemephu yokuqala yendlela

I-Heathrow isungula isikhululo seenqwelomoya sokuqala sase-UK imephu yendlela ye-Living Wage kwiNkomfa yababoneleli bonyaka

Isikhululo seenqwelomoya sithatha iLiving Wage Accreditation yaso inyathelo elinye ukuya phambili kwaye siqinisekisa ababoneleli ngokuthe ngqo nabakhoyo baqinisekisa abasebenzi ngoMvuzo wokuPhila ekupheleni kuka-2020.

Ababoneleli abatsha kunye neekhontrakthi zokubonelela nge-Heathrow ukusuka ngoDisemba 2018 kuya kufuneka ukuba bahlawule i-Living Wage kwaye bangasebenzisi iikontraka zeyure zero kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, ukukhusela amawaka emisebenzi emitsha ngokwandisa.

I-Heathrow ibeka imephu yendlela yokuqala yesikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-UK ukuqinisekisa ukuba amawakawaka oogxa bokubonelela baqinisekiswa ngoMvuzo oPhila ngo-2020, eyona nto iphambili enokuthi inikezelwe kwisicwangciso sozinzo sesikhululo seenqwelomoya.

KwiNkomfa yoMboneleli wesikhululo seenqwelomoya ngoLwesibini, uHeathrow ubhengeze ukuba bonke ababoneleli abatsha abangene kwikhontrakthi ngokuthe ngqo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukusuka kuDisemba 2018 kuya kufuneka ukuba bathobele uMvuzo wokuPhila. Kuphawu oluqinileyo kushishino lokuba intlawulo efanelekileyo kufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo, le mfuno intsha iya kuba linyathelo lokuqala kumkhombandlela obanzi wesikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Imephu yendlela, eyamkelwe yiNkongolo yeTrades Union, ibeka indlela eya kuguqula ngayo bonke abasebenzi bangoku be-Heathrow bahlawulwe uMvuzo wokuPhila waseLondon, kwiminyaka emibini ezayo. Iikhontrakthi zeyure-yure kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya nazo ziya kukhutshwa ngexesha elifanayo. Ukuqhubela phambili, amashishini anoxanduva avuma intlawulo efanelekileyo aya kuthandwa sisikhululo seenqwelomoya njengoko enikezela ngesimilo esiphakamileyo, imveliso kunye nengeniso ephantsi. Le ntshukumo iya kunceda ukukhusela amawaka eendima ezintsha eziya kufunwa ukwanda kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Ukufumana umvuzo wokuphila wokwenyani kuthetha ukukwazi ukufumana umvuzo onokuphila ngawo. Uphando olupapashwe kule nyanga yi-KPMG lufumene ngaphezulu kwesihlanu semisebenzi ehlawula ngaphantsi kwe-Living Wage yokwenene, kunye ne-1.2 yezigidi zemisebenzi engaphezulu ehlawula ngaphantsi kwe-Living Wage ukususela ngo-2012. I-Heathrow ifuna ukudlala indima yayo ekuphuculeni elo nani kunye nokwakha abasebenzi abanamandla base-UK ngo. ukuxhasa uthungelwano lwamashishini ahlawula umvuzo onokuphila. Ukujongana nekhonkco lokubonelela olubanzi nolwahlukeneyo ukusuka kwiinkonzo zokucoca ukuya kulungiselelo lwempahla, isikhululo seenqwelomoya sithathe umngeni wokuza nesakhelo esisodwa nesisebenzayo sokunceda ukuphucula intlawulo.

I-Heathrow iya kusebenza kunye nababoneleli ngokuthe ngqo bangoku ukubanceda baqonde izibonelelo zokuhlawula umvuzo wokwenene wokuphila, ngaphambi kokuphinda kuxoxwe ngemithetho emitsha kwiikontraki ezikhoyo. Imephu yendlela ibeke iinjongo ezinqwenelekayo eziza kubona i-45% yeekhontrakthi ekujoliswe kuzo zilungiswe yi-Q3 2019 kunye ne-100% nge-Q4 2020.

IGosa eliPhezulu lezeMali likaHeathrow uJavier Echave, uthe:

"Imiliselwe kwisicwangciso sethu sozinzo - iHeathrow 2.0 - kukuzinikela kwethu koogxa bethu kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuba iHeathrow iya kuba yindawo entle yokusebenza ngoku nakwixesha elizayo. Sele siqhuba kakuhle kule nto, kodwa sifuna ukwenza ngcono kwaye siya kusebenzisa isikali sethu ukukhuthaza abanye kwiQela le-Heathrow ukuba babhalisele uMvuzo oPhilayo. Sikhokele uhambo kwaye sayicwangcisa imephu yendlela. Ngoku siza kube sikhona ukuze sixhase amaqabane ethu kweli nyathelo liya phambili.”

USam Gurney, uNobhala weNgingqi (eLondon, eMpuma naseMzantsi Mpuma), iNkongolo yoMbutho wabaSebenzi:

“Siyakwamkela ukuzibophelela kwabaqeshi abaphambili abafana nesikhululo seenqwelomoya iHeathrow ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantu babo kunye nabo bakwimixokelelwane yabo yokubonelela bafumana uMvuzo wokuPhila waseLondon kwaye baneeyure eziqinisekisiweyo rhoqo. Imephu yendlela kaHeathrow kufuneka incede ekuqinisekiseni ukuba abo basebenzi bangafumani uMvuzo wokuPhila ngoku waseLondon baya kukwenza oko ngokukhawuleza, ngokuhambelana ne-Ajenda yeMisebenzi eMikhulu ye-TUC ebiza ukuba uMvuzo oPhila ube ngowona mncinci wokwenene kubasebenzi kunye nokuphela koku. iikhontrakthi zeyure eziyi-zero."

Ethetha kwiNkomfa yababoneleli beHeathrow yonyaka, uMlawuli weLiving Wage Foundation Tess Lanning, uthe:

“Ukuzinikela kukaHeathrow ekuhlawuleni uMvuzo wokwenene wokuPhila sele kunempembelelo enkulu kubasebenzi. Isibhengezo sanamhlanje sibonisa ubunkokeli obuqhubekayo njengomqeshi onoxanduva. Imivuzo ephantsi inokujongwa kwiiofisi zethu, ezivenkileni, kwiindawo zokugcina iimpahla nakwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya, kodwa ngoku kufuneka sibone abaqeshi abangakumbi belandela ukhokelo lukaHeathrow baze bazibophelele ekufumaneni umvuzo wosuku olungileyo ngomsebenzi onzima wosuku.”

Imephu yendlela iza kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa emva kokuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya sibonakalise unyaka waso wokuqala wokuvunywa koMvuzo oPhila. Ngo-2017 uHeathrow ubhalise ngokusemthethweni kwiqela elibanzi labaqeshi base-UK abazibophelele ekuhlawuleni uMvuzo wokwenene wokuPhila. I-Heathrow iqeshe oogxa abangama-6,000 ngokuthe ngqo, bonke abaqinisekiswa ngokungekho ngaphantsi koMvuzo oPhila. Kulo nyaka, oogxa bafumana omnye umvuzo phantsi kwexabiso elitsha le-UK Living Wage ngeyure ebekwe kwi-£ 10.55 kubasebenzi baseLondon, kunye ne-£ 9 kubasebenzi abasekelwe ngaphandle kwendawo yaseLondon.

Ugxa kaHeathrow kwiZiko leNkxaso kwiShishini, u-Alison Neill, ozinze eGlasgow uthe:

“Isigqibo sikaHeathrow sokuqinisekisa ukuba oogxa bakhe bayahlawulwa iLiving Wage sibe nefuthe elikhulu ebomini bam. Phambi kokuba ndifumane uMvuzo wokuPhila, ndandisokola ukuqhubeka netyala elalisanda, elalichaphazela impilo yam, nomgangatho wobomi bam. Kunyaka omnye emva kokuba ndinyuselwe kwiLiving Wage kwaye ngoku ndiphezu kwezimali zam, ndonwabe ngakumbi kwaye ndikhuthazekile kwindima yam kuba andisakhathazeki kukusonganyelwa ngamatyala.”
