U.S. Sues American Co. For Requiring Workers to Speak English

Yes, it is. English reading and writing skills are required to become a citizen. They’re tested for, but probably only at a cursory level.

However English isn’t required to become a Legal Permanent Resident (Green Card holder). I wonder what the law says regarding companies that decide to only hire US citizens. That I don’t know.

If companies are permitted to only hire citizens, this could be a good thing.

Don’t worry , Obama has the Worst Lawyers in the World ,but on the other side they do have tons of Armed Thugs

you absolutely should...at the very least i would call and/or send a complaint to the DOJ about the situation, CC’ing Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levine, etc....

Does this apply to businesses that insist on Spanish fluency for hiring a candidate? Isn't that discrimination too? I had the displeasure of trying to order food at the McDonald's in Greenwood Village (near Denver) on a business trip in 2000. Not a single employee behind the counter spoke English. There was a big poster of products for sale so English speaking customers were reduced to pointing at an item and indicating the number desired by holding up the right number of fingers. Thinking back on that experience, it was the last time I entered a McDonald's to order food. Fourteen years without patronizing them and I don't miss it one bit.

You wouldn’t believe the number of drive thrus here where I cant understand a thing they are saying. I get rude about it and tell them......get me someone who speaks English. If I can’t understand any of them I will drive off and make a complaint to the company. Peeves me to no end.

Instructions on operations and safety are printed in English.

Warning signs are in English

Public address instructions and warnings are in English.

A non-English speaking employee and produce poorly, cannot work with English speaking crew, will not understand warnings - written or verbal - people will get hurt or killed - the company will sued out of existence.

If they’re working the drive-thru they damn better make they understand English.

They damn' better make sure they know how to write it too!

[usconservative]

A non-English speaking employee and produce poorly, cannot work with English speaking crew .....

Uh, what?!

[usconservative]

This is nothing more than TRICKLE DOWN TYRANNY.

Have you trademarked that yet? First I've seen "Trickle Down Tyranny" and think it's catchy ..... bumpersticker catchy. (Mean that in a good way!)

[usconservative]

You now have to speak at least one of our languages to become a citizen.

Help me out here ... exactly how many languages are there in Canada to choose from in order to test fluently and become a citizen?

As far as I know there's:

- English
- The Queen's English
- French
- French Surrender Monkey
- The French spoken in Montreal (they like to think they're REALLY French)
- Backbacon
- Some language that sounds vaguely like a Michigan Yooper.

I do a pretty good Michigan Yooper impression -- think I'll pass?

They are not discriminating against Asians or Hispanics, they are simply not equipped to hire employees who cannot understand the rules and instructions.

The EEOC is another agency that needs shuttered along with 95% of the rest.

In Texas it is normal to give no reason. It’s better that way really.

Thanks for the compliment, I’ll pass it along to Mrs BE, She’s the smart woman who thought of it.

It’s nice to be recognized, but in this case I agree with you, it’s very catchy, and it can easily be spread across the conservative universe like lightning.

Let’s do it, those words have power we all need.

[Balding_Eagle]

I meant to include the fact that it’s use shouldn’t be limited, let’s ALL use it for the benefit of the America we love.

Suggestion: Find the “O”bama symbol and make it the letter “O” in “Trickle DOWN Tyranny” and make it a graphic. Know how? If not I can show you.

[usconservative]

[usconservative]

Dang it, fonts didn't match ...this should be better:

[usconservative]

Hey Jim, whaddya think about the above graphic on the opening FR page?

We have a despot of a President who's trickling down (literally pissing on every one of us!) tyranny!! It's high time we call Obama what he is: a Tyrant! Every thing that narcissistic jackwagon does is trickle down tyranny!
