So the lawsuit has a little bit of truth to it:

"Hirsch said there is a written policy limiting language other than English.

"The goal of the policy was to speak essentially whatever language you chose in the lunchroom or on breaks, when you're not servicing customers," Hirsch said."

This was buried at the end of the article.

But, it appears these women are taking it too far and saying there was a blanket ban.

There is not. If you are on break talking to another employee, you can speak Spanish.

But, when you are with customers, you need to speak English.

Seems reasonable to me.

Me too. Seems like these two women are trying to hit the lawsuit lottery.
