There are a lot of companies that will not hire you unless you speak Spanish. Is that discrimination based on National Origin?
This is insanity.
When the government tells businesses how to operate, isn’t it fascism?
Just saw this discussed on Fox Business w/ Gerri Willis.
Two lib, NYC lawyers saying the company was discriminating because these workers jobs didn’t involve speaking English.
English is becoming the common language world-wide and to do well in international and national arenas, you must know English. Case closed.
We need to declare English as our national language, no “oprima dos” and stop keeping these people stuck in the barrio.
Another action by bo to implement caos
Years ago, I had a boss who said,
“If you get paid in dollars, speak English”.
“If you get paid in pesos, you can speak Spanish.”
Time for that to make a comeback in the workforce.
The owners are a Mexican family.
No they will not.
They will just have to fire the English-only crowd...
