“Telling someone they cannot speak their native language on their own time is an idiot.”
Anyone not capable of speaking English as their primary language in a workplace is an idiot.
Again, we are NOT debating whether or not they should speak English in the fulfillment of their jobs—they are expected to, and they do.
The debate is whether two natural Spanish speakers should be “forced” to speak only English in the bathroom, break room, parking lot, etc. when they are on their own time and off the clock.
To expect them to is unenforceable. And it just leads to more problems. It’s crap thinking like this that sends these employees right into the hands of big unions.
