It’s an Obama world. The Obama EEOC is suing a private American company for firing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees for their inability to speak English at work. CNS News reported:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing workplace discrimination laws, is suing a private American business for firing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees over their inability to speak English at work, claiming that the English-language requirement in a U.S. business constitutes “discrimination.”
Judicial Watch reported Tuesday that the government is accusing Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on “national origin.” The government argues this includes the “linguistic characteristics of a national origin group.”
Irene Garcia, the blog editor and Spanish media liaison for Judicial Watch, called the EEOC’s accusation “ludicrous.”
“That’s ludicrous and an overreaching of government,” Garcia told CNSNews.com. “If you are a private company in the United States, you should be able to require your employees to speak English.”
According to a news release from the EEOC, Chicago Regional Attorney John C. Hendrickson said the Green Bay-based company’s English requirement is based on “superficial” reasoning.

In January, I was seated in the exit row of a Latin America airline. When the flight attendant asked the required questions, she asked me if I could speak Spanish? I allowed as how I spoke some. She put me in an alternate, non-exit-row seat. I didn’t feel discriminated against and neither should the workers in this thread. If someone yells “Fire!” are they going to react immediately or are they going to have to think about the meaning of the word?
Fire all of the Eeoc “folks”.
Haloo, dis iss Peggy. You wan’ plastex? Pliss howld.
Wait until the Kenyan grants amnesty to 50 million illegal alien invaders. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Lawyers and their ‘RAT massas will have all of the money in the country.
How is an employee suppose to do his job if he can not speak English?
America has been turned upside down.
American should file a class action lawsuit against Obama for multiple counts of malfeasance causing much more suffering than this one incident.
What an idiot.
Yep, next they will sue them for requiring proof of legal status to work.
You can be sure Obama Admin does nothing when businesses discriminate against White Anglo’s if a business refuses to hire if they do not speak Spanish...even though most Americans were brought up and taught in US public schools in English
Romney was a mushy candidate, weak in so many ways. But those conservatives (me included) who sat out the 2012 general election, well, we are partly to blame for all of this.
Don't worry you insane lefties, we'll probably do it again in 2016.
If you are an American citizen, then speak English.
How can this be? Obummer is better than Romney would have been?
Obama Mentiroso
Who hired them in the first place?
Hussein continues his war against America.
We're watching you, Ron (Does the "Meet the Fockers" thingy)
That’s what I was wondering. But a business will be in trouble either way. I went on EEOC website and they are suing a lot of businesses for not hiring minorities and women.
How does the government have standing to sue this company?
How was the government injured by this company, and what remedy could a court provide in order to resolve any such “injury”?
Quick, with out looking it up on a search engine, which branch of the United States Government, never does anything other than ......Mmmmmm.... SCOTUS (Supreme Court of The United States).
Inmates can submit a "hand written brief," but that's about the only change from the "United States Supreme Court Rules," one can deviate, other wise it's ALL Brief(s) submitted, Typed per a scale determined by the court (I think either 13 or 14 Font size) and a page size determined by the court,{something strange like 7" in. X 10" in.} a page limit {which I forget, possibly like 45 - 50 pages MAX.} and like 50 copies but otherwise it's English only. All decisions rendered English only.
