how is telling someone they have to speak english employment discrimination? he's not saying that he's gonna fire you for being hispanic, just for speaking a foriegn language.. which i find to be obnoxiously rude.
"I think it's not fair," said Gonzalez, who came to the United States 27 years ago from Guanajuato, Mexico. "Business[es] need to understand that we are free to speak our language."
That says it all folks. These third world nomads do not want to assimilate, do not want to speak English, do not want to follow our way of life. How many times do I have to repeat it??????? SHIP THEM HOME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon enough, idiots on FR will be defending these people like always.
I see no reason why an employer can't have this rule. They own the business let them run it their way. If the people working there don't like it they can always quit.
BTW, I think a federal law should be passed to prevent anyone who doesn't speak fluid english to work at a drive through window. Trying to understand an accent over the intercom is almost impossible and that goes for phone calls also.
Customs agents in miami sued to get paid EXTRA because they spoke spanish. They were native speakers and did not recieve any special training.
It seems smart for the business world to push english because it keeps employee costs down. Just wait, these idiots will soon not only REQUIRE supercuts to speak spanish they will make them pay extra AND keep them from being fired.
The no spanish in the break room seems a very big disembling on the part of the plaintiffs.
