Isn’t there a language requirement to become a citizen??

There are certain jobs around here (poultry processing) where they won’t hire whites and you MUST speak Spanish. Maybe I should sue one them places IF this is the law.

EEOC- in 1978 a SF BAY AREA company, a Federal contractor, was sued by an American woman because her Q/A boss was trying to force her and one other American citizen to learn to speak Spanish because only two of the Q/A Latinos could speak English and the third was a non-US citizen but a Mexican citizen. The Company lost that lawsuit by actions of the EEOC.

Stupidest rule ever.
If the worker cannot understand the instructions of his English only speaking boss then the worker should be let go.
15 years ago my boss hired a non-English speaking engineer. The deal was that he had a target salary and he would receive it when he was fluent in English. He started off at a little above minimum wage and would be evaluated quarterly on his proficiency in English. In 6 months, he spoke like he’s been born here. He also got to his target salary.
Nothing like money as an incentive to learn English.
He was Russian.

Just give them direction in English, and fire them for insubordination when they don’t comply.

It’s ok democrats don’t speak English any way.

Never mind the politics, in a blue-collar environment being able to communicate is a safety issue.

[technically right]

I’ve never been able to understand why these companies hire these kind of people in the first place. I’ve been involved in hiring workers for 35 years at various companies and have always been able to get the person that I wanted. With a bit of due diligence such as background checks, calling references, word of mouth and some intuition you can weed out the undesirables before you get to the interview process. You NEVER want to publically say that you don’t want certain types of folks. Those folks just get a nice letter that says that they didn’t make the cut for an interview and thanks for your interest.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Given our, hopefully, temporary polyglot society we need an English only law. Any "tolerance" of multilingual life will at a minimum break American down due to an inability to understand each other.

Does this apply to businesses that insist on Spanish fluency for hiring a candidate? Isn't that discrimination too? I had the displeasure of trying to order food at the McDonald's in Greenwood Village (near Denver) on a business trip in 2000. Not a single employee behind the counter spoke English. There was a big poster of products for sale so English speaking customers were reduced to pointing at an item and indicating the number desired by holding up the right number of fingers. Thinking back on that experience, it was the last time I entered a McDonald's to order food. Fourteen years without patronizing them and I don't miss it one bit.

They are not discriminating against Asians or Hispanics, they are simply not equipped to hire employees who cannot understand the rules and instructions.

The EEOC is another agency that needs shuttered along with 95% of the rest.
