Guess Wisconsin Plastics will have to hire interpreters.
Feds have no standing. Throw the case out.
Here’s what I don’t understand:
Did they interview the employees in Spanish? Why would they do that?
I say: Meet potential employees — interview them — gauge their ability to communicate — hire the ones who “can handle the job”.
Once you hire them, you have fewer options (apparently). I don’t like that, but a smart business owner will be proactive and simply make the hiring process 100% English only. You just don’t hire candidates who “don’t impress” you.
... while the world learns to speak english for technology (to develop their own countries), for business, trade in American dollars,etc etc with the worlds most successful country.
Here we have Obama doing whatever he can to screw America its economy,and the success of it’s peoples. He prefers to support all the americahaters and in doing so mess up the economies of those who want to trade with America.
The POS needs to be tarred and feathered, then run outta town on a rail!
Why did they get hired in the first place?
I'm not belittling the stupidity and absurdity of the suit, but they did in fact place themselves in this position.
does the state have English as their official language?
seems that amendment should be a big issue right now.
The Spanish channels are all illegals all the illegal time.
Which we all knew was coming.
But there's one itty bitty little distinction. Your national origin can't be changed, it's a fact of your birth.
The language you speak is of course something most can learn. Thus it is a choice.
Other than Religion the Constitution is pretty thin on protecting choices. Make a bad one...that's your problem.
This is a huge mistake on the government’s part. When the American’s with Disabilities act was passed there was a sudden drop in hiring of disabled people. Companies now saw them as potential problems. When Congress gave blacks government lawyers to sue for racial discrimination there was another big drop in employed blacks. A study was conducted where identical resumes were sent to the same employer. The difference in responses between those with black sounding names those with white sounding names was more than a statistical phenomenon. Companies simply stopped even interviewing blacks. This was countered by putting the requirement for “diversity” (defined as hiring blacks) into government contracts. That resulted in blacks being hired and used essentially as decoration, as they knew they could not be fired. Perhaps the government will now require companies to hire a percentage of people who speak no English.
Well that should stop business from giving people with difficulty speaking English a chance. If you’re going to get sued if you fire them, then don’t hire them in the first place.
Unless there are further details, there is something wrong with this case, and it's not worth getting up an arms about.
Unless Mr. Employer knew that when he hired Mr. or Ms. non-polyglot.
OBAMACARE & ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION – IT’S A TWO-FER!
