Intlawulo ye-$5 yezigidi ngokuchasene ne-Avis Rent-A-Car System, LLC
Amagqwetha e-GLP asandula ukusombulula ityala lokufa ngokungafanelekanga le-$5 yezigidi ngokuchasene ne-Avis Rent-A-Car System, LLC, ese- Seattle, WashingtonI-Avis Rent-A-Car yinkampani engaphantsi kwe-Avis Budget Group, Inc., eParsippany, eNew Jersey ephethwe ngokupheleleyo. Le nkampani isebenzisa izithuthi ezimalunga nama-650,000 kwiindawo ezilawulwa yinkampani kunye nezo zilawulwa ngumnini-layisenisi kwihlabathi liphela.
Ityala lathi uChristopher Kitzhaber, utata otshatileyo oneminyaka engama-48 ubudala onabantwana abathathu, wayeqeshwe yi-Automated Machine Design, LLC (inkampani engaphantsi kwe-Avis) njengearhente yokurenta, enoxanduva lokuhambisa nokuhlamba izithuthi zokurenta ezaziyinxalenye ye-Avis Rent-A-Car System kwigaraji yokupaka eyayikwi-1919 5.th I-Ave. ngaphakathi Seattle, Washington. Emva nje kokufika emsebenzini ngoJulayi 31, 2016, uMnu. Kitzhaber wapaka imoto yakhe kumgangatho ophezulu wegaraji yokupaka ye-Avis enezitezi ezintandathu waza wahamba waya kwi-belt-manlift eyayiza kusetyenziselwa abasebenzi ukunyuka nokuhla kwigaraji. UMnu. Kitzhaber wawa phantsi kwi-manlift shaft, njengoko i-lift yayibaleka, imcinezela kwezinye zezithuba ezincinci kumgangatho ngamnye. UMnu. Kitzhaber wafunyanwa kumgangatho ongaphantsi komhlaba egcwele igazi, kodwa ephila kwaye ephefumla. Wasweleka kwi-ambulensi endleleni eya eSibhedlele saseHarborview.
Kamva kwafunyaniswa ukuba i-manlift yayineengxaki ezininzi zokhuseleko ezenza ukuba ibe yingozi kwaye ingafaneleki ukuthuthwa ngabantu, kuquka i-vestibule kunye neqonga lokukhwela elalilincinci kakhulu ukuba lingasetyenziswa ngokukhuselekileyo, kunye nokungabikho kweempawu ezichaza indlela yokukhwela i-lift ngokukhuselekileyo. I-Avis ayizange ikwazi ukubonelela ngobungqina bokugcinwa okufunekayo kwe-manlift kwaye i-Avis yayingenalo irekhodi loqeqesho olufanelekileyo kubasebenzisi be-manlift.
UScott Lundberg kunye noJames GoodUkuhlolwa kwamagqwetha e-GLP kubonise ukuba uphando lwabo lubonise ukuba zimbalwa kakhulu iindlela zokuphakamisa iibhanti e-US Washington, njengoko uninzi lweelifti ngoku zineendawo ezibajikelezileyo ebezinokuthi zithintele oku kufa. Mnu. Goodu-ing uthe, “I-Avis ayizange yenze uhlolo olufanelekileyo lokhuseleko lwe-manlift, kwaye eneneni ayizange ihlawule isicwangciso solondolozo esifanelekileyo esabekwayo xa sasicetyiswa yinkampani yolondolozo.”
Igqwetha lelifa laseKitzhaber lithe, “Akukho mali inokubuyisela ngokwaneleyo usapho lakwaKitzhaber ngentlungu eyoyikekayo kunye nokubandezeleka okwafunyanwa nguyise nomyeni wabo. Nangona kunjalo, abathengi bethu bayavuya kuba esi sivumelwano sikawonke-wonke sivuma okokuqala iintlungu ezafunyanwa nguMnu. Kitzhaber kunye nosapho lwakhe, kunye noxanduva luka-Avis kwezo ntlungu”.
“Sinethemba lokuba ngokuseka isivumelwano sikawonke-wonke, ityala likaMnu. Kitzhaber liza kutyhila iingozi ezijongene nabasebenzi, kwaye libonise ishishini lokuqeshisa iimoto ukuba liza kuthwaliswa uxanduva xa inzuzo ibekwa phezu kwabantu. Sinethemba lokuba usapho lakwaKitzhaber lungaqala inkqubo yokuphiliswa kwaye ludlulele ngaphaya kwale ntlekele.”
Eli linyathelo ekwakulindeleke ukuba abasebenzi balisebenzise xa bekwi-belt-manlift, ngelixa behamba phakathi kwemigangatho yegaraji yokupaka i-Avis.
Ingaphandle legaraji yokupaka iimoto ye-Avis edolophini Seattle.
Umgangatho ophezulu wegaraji yokupaka i-Avis, obonisa i-manlift yebhanti kunye nabasebenzi bezitepsi ababeza kuyisebenzisa ukuhamba phakathi kwemigangatho emi-6 yegaraji. Isiphatho esincinci ebhantini yayikuphela kwento abasebenzi ababefanele bayibambe xa besematshinini wokuhambisa.
